No I won't miss holo
[Nexus 4 General] Anthonok:
I love me some holo ui but daaaaamn bring on a Google now-ish look.
[Nexus 4 General] jtc42:
I think it'd be cool if the system trim changed colour to match the app. So if you have Music open the clock etc would fade to orange, Books, Facebook and so on it'd go blue etc.
[Nexus 4 General] dankoman:
if you like it, cool.

if you don't, change it.

if you don't know how, learn.

that's what android is, and always has been, all about.
[Nexus 4 General] forever_lol:
Mate, the major idea of CM and AOSP-based roms is to provide up to date aosp experience to (mostly non-nexus and often legacy) android devices. It's thus highly improbable that developers of these roms will stick with "obsolete" ui.
[Nexus 4 General] zelendel:
Agreed to the fullest. I have always thought that every Android look was beyond ugly. So I dove in and theme it to what I want it to look like.

Agreed as it will be a complete rework of the frameworks. Even theme chooser theme's will need to be redone from the ground up and from the looks of the new apps TV theme's will be almost worthless

[Nexus 4 General] Ace42:
White is better for IPS, so I look forward to the new colors.
[Nexus 4 General] drawkcaB:
Hmm a white or grey UI.

Gnex users will kill themselves seeing as amoled cant produce a pure white.

Samsung will theme it to look like Gingerbread so doesnt matter to them.

As someone said earlier its hard to miss it if the new UI suits you better. Without knowing what and how it'll be applied its hard to say anything conclusively.
[Nexus 4 General] zelendel:
Agreed in the end only Nexus users will see it purely. All the others will have it buried under OEM changes.
[Nexus 4 General] grgana:
Well you might be right but i love holo for some reason, and im a visual artist;) but hey its yust my opinion, every person have a different taste..so..it s all so relative
[Nexus 4 General] forever_lol:
It's ok I've never said your taste was bad :) But the thing is CM devs always stick with the lates version of android. That's the point of these builds. Without CM most of non-flagship devices' users would never run JB (even ICS in case of legacy devices.) That's why I said it would be improbable to keep holo if aosp abandoned this ui.
[Nexus 4 General] scorpion667:
I love the lockscreen slider and the darkness of the theme but I hate the icons... if you put camera on dock, it will not align with any of the other icons... this always bugged me
[Nexus 4 General] grgana:
Yeah i get it , for me the beauty of holo is lock screen, Stat.bar and nav. Bar, and i like gray background on setting s,allso icons, if some apps or other things change according to color its fine by me, lets see what will Google do.. They been good so far... So no need to doubt :)

I had xperias so far and they have some great stuff but lot of horrible like Stat bar, cusotomers support i wont even mention cause its not related to this thread
[Nexus 4 General] DirgeExtinction:
Isn't it still Holo, just a different shade? It used to be Holo Dark, now Google seems to be phasing in Google Light?
[Nexus 4 General] zelendel:
Holo light has always been there. If they are following the google now set up it will be far different. Like theme Chooser themes will no longer work, and the whole framework will be getting an over haul like it did when ICS hit.
[Nexus 4 General] gnan10:
Lol...Probably you saying about paranoid android rom..
[Nexus 4 General] Ddot196:
I would absolutely welcome a Google now style ui over holo any day.
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
I can't wait for a new ui experience. I much prefer holo over anything on other phones like the iPhone but it would be nice to have a new experience. Mathias Duarte has done a great job on the android experience and I think if things continue in this direction most people will enjoy android even more. My biggest want for KLP isn't really in the ui but rather in how android behaves under the hood. There has to be a way to up battery life more than what is being done now. I know its closed and walled but it ticks me off that my wife's iPhone 5 has close to 50% smaller battery and yet you can get nearly double the battery life doing the same sort of tasks such as browsing. Supposedly there's more heavy use of multi tasking in iOS 7, and I'm curious to see if battery life on existing hardware goes down. If it doesn't then it makes me wonder if Google could do more under the hood to improve this aspect. Almost no one releases phones with more than 2500mah so optimizing what's there is important. A bit off topic I know.
[Nexus 4 General] hp420:
only for nerds??? how about people who like having decent battery life??? :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] vegaznc:
A dark theme won't give better battery life on a N4, only for phones with AMOLED screen.
[Nexus 4 General] mrHoldol:
I will definitely miss the HOLO colour theme but I would prefer a new colour theme for KLP. HOLO has been in use now for sometime and I would definitely like to see some changes. I don't want stock android to look the same for ages... (COUGH.. iOS... COUGH...)
[Nexus 4 General] 3xeno:
"Nerd" UI or not, I'll miss it. It was clean, simple and achieved what it set out to do. That being said, I am confident that Google will achieve even better design with their new UI. Liking the card based UI, whatever has been seen so far.
[Nexus 4 General] ceejay83:
My favorite color is blue so I'll miss it a lot, but I'm open to change. Can't stay on the same theme forever
[Nexus 4 General] hamad138:
Simple???? Get drugs
[Nexus 4 General] rayiskon:
He has the right to his own opinion.
[Nexus 4 General] 3xeno:
It's my opinion. I don't see why you have to force yours down my throat when I don't force mine on you. I find it simple and logical. Am I wrong that I find it that way? No. So, kindly keep your opinion to yourself and learn to accept others, even though you may not agree.

Stock Android, as has been said time and again, is NOT for everyone. I am wondering though why you purchased the Nexus in the first place if you hate Holo UI so much. Anyway, that again is your choice, so hope your experience has been good with your phone so far.

Cheers

Let's all be honest, we want the estrogen filled flat ui icons from iOS7.

But seriously, I think Google could take a little bit of note. Though it seems to not work amazingly on iDevices, I think that a more unified icon scheme would be better. When I open my app drawer, I get a mix of flat ui, Google Play app icons, and then other random ones thrown in. It would be nice if each icon followed a rule, such as straight edges. Even the mix between Play Movies and Play Magazines is striking, and they reside right next to each other.

I like where Google is heading, but the whole idea of icon design needs a bit of an upheaval in my opinion.
[Nexus 4 General] ROFLkopter:
I'd miss the HOLO UI if it gets replaced, but it will be interesting to see what Google will go for with 5.0

[Nexus 4 General] Anthonok:
Anyone know any good themes that resemble this look?
[Nexus 4 General] dragon_76:
If you're that hard–up for flat, straightedge icons that follow a theme, use Tersus with Xposed.
[Nexus 4 General] Gaurav.Stallion:
I love the stock holo UI, but I wouldn't mind seeing a new UI. If it's not to my liking, I'll come back to JB.
[Nexus 4 General] Drebin 894:
No, you're missing the point. Icons at the moment look like different teams designed each one independently, and what results is an unorganized theme. Honestly, I don't mind it too much and can live with it, but it could definitely use some improvement.
[TouchPad General] darkknight1812:
I just wanted to know if any one still uses WebOS? I used to love it (still do actually), but Android is current and has more of an app selection. However, I know a team is working on an application to be able to run android apps within webos. Would you switch back to webos?

I actually prefer webos to android, but I use android more. Mostly, now, I use webos for Skype. It's a great os, too bad hp gave up on it.
[TouchPad General] darkknight1812:
I feel the same way. I hate how almost every app is running in the background in android, unless you turn it off yourself. Webos just seems well polished and elegant compared to android. I used Skype before in webos but it felt awkward. It seemed like I had to hold the tablet in a position that was hard to see the screen so the camera was able to pick me up.
[TouchPad General] blmvxer:
I still use webOS daily on my HP Touchpad.. :)
[TouchPad General] othercents:
I haven't booted into WebOS since CM9. I use my touchpad for watching videos and playing games. Nothing I like on WebOS gives me everything I want.
[TouchPad General] mmmmmmmma:

[TouchPad General] Soerdroid:
I only use webos when I am about to transfer large files (movies) to my touchpad. Do not get me wrong, I love webos but lack of certain apps and speed it is like mandatory to use android.
[TouchPad General] jsgraphicart:
I would use webOS if I could run more apps on it. And depending on how well they ran. I've always loved webOS. I started out using the Palm Centro (Palm OS), then the Palm Pre Plus (webOS) as my signature says. I went through the whole life of webOS on my phone. All the way up until they killed it off. It was a sad day. Knowing nothing else was going to come from webOS, I made the switch to the next best OS. Android. I bought the TouchPad after finding out it can run Android and webOS together. Having the TouchPad being able to boot into both is just plain awesome. I love both, but just hate how webOS is just at a stand still right now.

Also, a friendly service announcement....

If you have ever used webOS for anything and have a webOS account you would like to continue logging into, you should probably read this:

http://www.webosnation.com/hp-issue...-ensure-continued-access-webos-cloud-services

Basiclly, update the app catalog before the end of July so you will have continued support.
[TouchPad General] poqonos:
I still boot into WebOS from time to time, i still love it, but lack of apps makes it hard to use.
[TouchPad General] theechap:
The only reason I booted into WebOS recently was for the App Catalog update. I'm not sure I'll ever use it.
[TouchPad General] TrobbL:
I've probably booted to WebOS twice in the past 6 months.

[TouchPad General] DaElderGeek:
WebOS Rediscovered

I've been running Android (J. C. Sullins) for a long time but in the last few days it stopped booting Android. I booted into WebOS which works just fine. I'd forgotten how great it is to browse Flash heavy sites with no issues.
[TouchPad General] synchron50:
Certain high bit rate videos don't want to play well in Android (Mxplayer, Bsplayer, Dice ) so I use Webos and Kalemsoft Media Player, usually for movies. This is great software and the Webos version is far better than the Android version. The LunaCE 4.95 upgrade for Webos is also entertaining and beginning to grow on me.
[TouchPad General] KishlorN:
Sadly WebOS lacks some applications, and while I like it, you mainly own a tablet for its applications...
[TouchPad General] chris5s:
Not sure I own my tablet for apps, which is prob why I use webos as much as android.

Browsing, brilliant Facebook app., YouTube, all great on webos. Preferable to android, but thats just my humble opinion.

Peace
[TouchPad General] FoOtY1337:
I agree, the lack of applications is what makes WebOs < Android in my opinion.
[TouchPad General] WMH7:
Why, only the greatest operating system known to mankind! Well, a slight exaggeration on my part there. :)

webOS was the original operating system for the Touchpad tablet and Pre and Pixi series of phones. It still supports the widest range of features on the TouchPad, but it's lack of regularly maintained apps is a serious drawback. If you want to know more, there's an article for that at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebOS (I'm not allowed to post links yet, just copy that into your URL bar.)

I also attached a screenshot, for good measure.

[TouchPad General] k4ever:
I still use webOS almost everyday. I will occasionally boot into CM10 to update apps that I almost never use. I think webOS' interface is what keeps bringing me back to it. Also, as someone else mentioned, Flash is way better on webOS than CM10. I uninstalled Flash from CM10 after only using it for a few months. It is buggy as hell. WebOS doesn't have as many apps as Android, put the apps it does have work well. I appreciate having CM10 available to play around with and discover new apps, but nothing CM10 or Android has to offer makes me want to leave webOS.

CM + Greenify = problem solved.

The lag from stock webOS is 10 times worse than Android IMO. We had to installed Preware and many other tweaks to get a decent experience. The browser is also terrible.

I would gladly remove webOS from all my TP if I knew how.

No idea of what you are talking about. Maybe there is something wrong with your Android OS.

I play 1080p 2 Gig files with MxPlayer perfectly on my TPs ( CM9 and CM10 )

I also prefer MxPlayer to Kalemsoft Player which probably has the worst UI in the history of video apps...
[TouchPad General] x000x:
webos still has the best multitasking hands down. the cards and card stacks just blows away anything else out there today.. which speaks to how amazing it was even 2 years ago. unfortunately that was not enough to keep me from switching to android. android has the advantage of a better web browser (which is what i mostly use the tablet for) and more variety of apps.
[TouchPad General] nova_ck:
I love webOS's multitasking and notification.

For some reason i haven't webOS device this time, but i will get one again in the next time.:o
[TouchPad General] tsoheq:
I still do. In fact, I'm replying on the touchpad now with webos. I've not added cm10 on it yet... still feel very nostalgic about good old webos. When I can't do what I want on webos due to the lack of apps and bug fixes, I switch over to my Nexus 7. But I still find myself coming back to webos often. I used the touchpad more than the nexus. The touchpad has way better battery life than the nexus 7. Just added a windows 8 phone to our family, and while it has nice hardware and is smooth, I still like webos better.
[TouchPad General] stillsmile:

[TouchPad General] hovax615@hotmail.com:
I still use it. Rather use android though
[TouchPad General] durlecs:
I still use WebOS a lot. I really like the Kindle reader version on the WebOS over the Android version and side loading books is very simple with the preware app and Calibre. Also, the battery life is amazing in WebOS. The interface is simple and easy to use. I feel clean when using WebOS and dirty when using Android. Sounds funny, but it's the best way I can describe it. I am hoping the community edition takes hold and WebOS gets another chance. In my opinion, it really is the best OS for a tablet. I use Android because of the app availability, but if WebOS had a good selection of apps, I don't think I would go back to Android. Plus, I smile every time I sling a card to the Angry Bird's "Wheeeeee!" It's good therapy.

I never did get the touchscreen working.. I need to retry... Runs on QT, like Ubuntu Touch....

Still use webOS here, I love the webOS keyboard.

I mainly use webOS for taking notes and recording lectures (due to the better keyboard), and also for video.

I have tried many builds from CM9 to CM10.1 and they all have lower performing hardware acceleration as compared to webOS. For example, a 1280x720 video that takes about 1.5 GB per hour of video mpeg 4 H.264 video, will run smoothly both locally and also through a DLNA server using bhome to connect to the DLNA server and kalemsoft media player to play the video

but on android, locally, there will be periodic drops in frame rates or during lots of motion, the video may stutter or just play generally slowly (dropped frames)

android also has some issues with DLNA, as the wifi throughput is not as high on android as with webOS can do around 50+mbit/s upload and download, while android will top out at around 30-34mbit/s

webOS also interfaces with the flash storage more efficiently, on android, downloading a large file may top out at 2.14MB/s (megabytes per second) while on webOS, it can do over 3MB/s

For raw performance, the current android builds cannot compete with webOS, but webOS lacks most of the applications that I like.

(PS webOS also has better multitasking, unlike android, webOS will not auto close running apps, if an application has it's card listed, then it is running and will not be unloaded. while on android, it will randomly close background application, meaning the document you were typing or reading may end up getting reloaded when you switch back to it, (causing you to lose work, or lose your position), or you may be typing a forum reply, then switch to a different app to check your e-mail, or watch a video then go back to the browser only to see that the android saved the open tab list but nothing else so the browser relaunches and your long reply is gone.)

so overall, webOS provides a better video experience, better multitasking, and better general performance (in terms of better utilizing the hardware)
[TouchPad General] k4ever:
Excellent post! I agree with all you've written. The keyboard on webOS is faster than all of the keyboards I've tried on Android. It also looks better in a more elegant way. I've tried to emulate the look on Android and it keeps falling short.

The only thing hurting webOS right now on my TouchPad is the lack of apps. I'm hoping that ACL gets release soon to solve that. However the company in charge of the release is taking its sweet time and not keeping anyone informed as to what is going on. Once ACL is released I will find it hard pressed to boot into Android.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] egendomligt:
I'm thinking of using the Nexus 7 as a tool for working in a warehouse with picking/packing/inventory etc. For this I need to use a barcode scanner connected to the USB port via an OTG cable. To make this solution less fragile I would need a case that protects the microUSB port by building an extra inch or so, or even better, a case that connects directly to it and provides a full size USB port (I've never seen anything like that though).

Anyone got any tips? I would consider using another device if I found something usable in this area... And I would consider buying a 3D printer and doing something myself if they weren't so expensive, hehe :)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] hellot1M:
Where would one go to bring an issue to Google's attention? When Google play music first released it gave users the option to bill to the carrier account. I selected this option and it said complete. Several weeks to nearly a month later I get an email stating the my purchase was declined and because of a card I have in my Google Wallet. I deleted this card thinking it may of caused an issue with my selection. I then selected to have Google all access bill to my account again. Here it is a few weeks later and I get another email saying my purchase was declined because I didn't have a card set up in my Google wallet.

This is really starting to get annoying. Has anyone else been successful with having this new service billed to your account? Not just selecting it but actually getting an email when the payment wad due stating the payment was successfully applied to your account and not just some card you have set up in your Google wallet.

Hello all, lurker of the forum here and finally decided to make an account!!

I store all my photos on Dropbox in a folder called Pictures, and there are sub folders with in it for various thing. Trying to figure out if there is a way to put a shortcut to these folders in the Stock Gallery APP for easy access.

I was thrilled with using Picasa as an online storage for photos, and keep it in sync with my, in which this case they showed up in my Gallery APP, however I was bummed to see that Picasa did not support Sub Folders/Sub Albums, So everything was a mess!.

Does anyone have any suggestions of want to share their method of how you access your collection of photos without having them stored locally on the phone??

I installed it just now. You're right, the option for Dropbox is missing. What's weird though is it's still stated as a supported source from their website. Huh.

Long story short, my One X is getting random FC's after which the app will FC everytime I start it. Today I got the setup wizard when I booted, as if I just installed a rom.

It doesn't seem to be ROM related, as the problems started on ARHD and I'm now on Blade.
