very cool, thank you! only feedback i have is that it could be somewhat faster, but I'm very happy to have my favorite bootanimation back on my phone!

Roger, thanks for the boot animation :eek::thumbup:
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] 02busa:
Could you make a sharper version? If so that would be great. File size isn't really a concern for me. Would be very appreciated.

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Roger.T:
Have you tested the current version?

Have them on 16 November uploaded.

It is the sharper version.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] 02busa:
Ah, Let me try those. I used the one in the OP.. Thought it was an updated version.

EDIT- Just tried those, Those are the wormhole.. I was interested in a sharper version of the Nexus Particles Bootanimation. That one is awesome! I just wish it was 1080p. Thanks for your efforts.

I just tried it again, same as before. Basically looking for a clearer sharper version of the one in post one. :)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Roger.T:
Test this one.

No way to make it sharper ;)

I got ezpdfreader, which has a great facility to read aloud pdf files using the text to speech ability of android. However, I can't get it to read aloud mobi or epub files for some reason.

Are there any apps that can read aloud mobie or epub files?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kusumalaga:
Hi all, I just got my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and it's N900 Exynos version. I was wondering how to root my phone in the safest way possible. I read some thread in the forum and they say that the N900 Exynos doesn't have KNOX, but in my phone there's a KNOX app. Will the KNOX not triggered if I root my phone with CF Root? Or is there another way?

Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks before :)

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yostyle:
guys i don't know what to do :( i've just seen the live presentation of moto g... and damn, 199usd for a quadcore s400 with 16gb...

should i have to wait for the (maybe) coming update, or is it better to sell the razr i for 250$ and get this new phone?

i know the lack of camera and body materials, or memory expandibility (actually have a 8gb microsd, so that's not a problem for me...)

so, please, tell me all of your opinion... with pros and cons in your opinion. thanks in advance!
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lucki_X:
g is bigger so razr i is my choice.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagoban:
I still prefer my Razr I, G doesn't have NFC and I love my Intel CPU :)

Also the I is more edge2edge than the G and I like the material of the I
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clickstop:
Razr i won't get kitkat, in my honest opinion. If that's the only thing keeping you from selling, I would go ahead and sell
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yostyle:
well... i also love the premium materials... and the compact size, but, i really would like to have 4.4 for the optimizations it brings... and the lack of custom roms cause of x86 arch... i'm praying for seeing that "it'll get 4.4 soon" on the official motorola page
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vimesUK:
AFAIK the camera is better on Razr over that of the G and whilst an update to the phone would be nice I'm ok with the features it has for what I bought it for. Overall the razr i is still a great phone for me and I would buy it over the G version.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nomboly:
You should take a closer look to their specs. Bear in mind that I don't know how much Razr i costs in your country new or used...

Razr i / Moto G

CPU - Intel Atom Z2480 x86 2Ghz x1 (HyperThreading) / Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 1,2Ghz x4

GPU - Power VR SGX540 @ 400Mhz 6.2GFLOPS / Adreno 305 19.2GFLOPS

RAM - 1GB LPDDR2 @ 800Mhz / 1GB LPDDR2 @ 533Mhz (supposed)

ROM - 8GB / 8GB or 16GB

Battery - 2000mAh / 2070mAh

System - Android on x86 4.0.4 update to 4.1.2 / Android on ARM 4.3

Screen - 4.3" SuperAMOLED 540x960 256ppi GG2 / 4.5" LCD GorillaGlass3 720x1280 329ppi

Camera - 8mpx autofocus LED flash 1080p 30fps video / 5mpx autofocus LED flash 720p 30fps video

SecCam - 0.3mpx 640x480 30fps video / 1.3mpx unknown video recording resolution

Connect - NFC, Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi N, HSPA+, GPS / Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi N, GPS, HSPA+

SIze - H>122.43mm W>60.71mm D>8.38mm - 126 g / H>129.9mm W>65.9mm D>11.6 mm - 143 g

As you may see here, the Razr i is quite smaller and also features a better display, with a lower resolution. Whether this resolution changes anything or not is down to the use you will give to your phone. The Razr i should have a marginally better battery life due to the type of screen, lower resolution and same battery capacity. Also the Razr has better connectivity overall, supporting NFC and has a marginally better camera, that will appeal to some people. The last advantage for the Razr is the memory bandwith, being an x86 device with an Atom processor, I have seen that the ram speed is about 25% faster than the GS3 which had quite a good RAM. However, the Moto G wins hands down on the CPU and GPU departure. In contrast, it has to power up quite a few more pixels and this narrows down the advantage. You may then choose your phone based on this, and on your likings/kind of usage obviously.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clickstop:
1. Is micro SD support a must?

2. Do you care for Kitkat? Or lots of custom rom options? (pretty sure the G will get plenty of them)

3. Is nfc a big deal for you?

4. Do you care about screen resolution?

I'm deciding between these two phones now as well, and this was the best I could come up with for deciding. If you can answer them you'll know which one you want. Good luck!
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nomboly:
I would add these:

5. Do you need more gaming performance? (buy the G)

6. Do you want a thinner device? (buy the Razr i)

7. Do you want a phone mid-high end design or a low-mid end(moto G)?

I should still advice you that if you are not are frequent user of demanding games, reading, or cpu intensive tasks on android, you will be more than satisfied with the Razr i. If you are more of a power user and dont care much about the features you should buy the Moto G. If you don't like any of the two buy the Nexus 5...
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yostyle:
Thanks to all of you guys. I think to take with me the RAZR for the premium feels it gives to me even if less powerful. The only thing I could regret is the fact it will not get Kk.. but. I hope in you modders ;)
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adddaamo:
Only advantage RazrI has to MotoG is quality and size, screen quality, camera, speaker should be equal, performance, devs and moto support should be better on MotoG.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filaodotorg:
I have the same dilemma, I have a Moto G but not used yet as I'm waiting for a screen protector. I was about to get a Razr I but for £50 cheaper the Moto G made more sense. The Razr I i still £150 at the moment, maybe if it drops a little lower I will take one.

EDIT: I bought both a Moto G 8Gb and a Razr I, reason being my sister also wanted a new phone so whichever I didn't want she would take. The issue with Three stores in the UK is that the phone is locked into some protective casing in the shop so you can't hold them, and they don't allow opening one up unless you want to buy it, so it's difficult to compare them in the shops.

However, as soon as you hold both in your hand the Razr I has a much more premium feel, it's probably the nicest phone I have ever handled (and that includes an iPhone 5). IMO the iPhone 5 is a perfect size and weight and this is pretty much the same but without IOS (which is a benefit!).

I don't see much difference in the screen at all in terms of size and quality. The Razr I feels quicker though as you scroll through menus and open up apps etc. Plus the SD card slot is a nice addition (although not one of my requirements).

Is it worth an extra £50/33% premium on top of the Moto G? I guess that depends on what you will use it for. If you're not going to use much storage and are a light user then the Moto G is the one to go for, especially with a guaranteed 4.4 update to Android. If you can spend the extra then get the Razr I it's a bargain for what it is.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Semseddin:
I have both at the moment and believe me it's a tough question for sure. I must say one handed use of RAZR i is a big plus.

Razr I advantages :

Better camera

Micro-sd support up to 64gb

One handed use

Premium quality

Better and faster internet experience

Moto G advantages

Better display

Better battery ( just a little )

Better front cam

Current Android version, update to Lollipop

Better gaming experience

I will wait for 4.4.2 on RAZR i to make a better judgement. btw moto g gets 17500 while razr i gets 17000 antutu points. ( the lower resolution on razr i helps to its inferiror gpu compared to Adreno 305 with 720p on moto g )
[Xperia Z1 General] zzcool:
i've owned the xperia z1 for a few weeks now and i absolutely adore it but theres things i don't like with it so i will list my wishes

first off the plastic all around inside the frame i hate it it kills the phone i don't see why it's even there it's pointing out why can't the frame reach over there instead or my wish is replace this plastic with a glass rgb light all around the entire phone when it's off you won't notice it's there but when it's on you do it would be able to light up certain parts pulse and other effects like moving allong the lines or mix colors like red at the top blue at the bottom etc (the rgb light it already has it muffled under something which makes it look bad but from a certain angle it's clear and amazing)

much better screen the best possible screen or amoled with sonys picture engine to make colors more life like best possible black level if a amoled couldn't be used

64 gb internal storage

xenon flash

completely black frame instead of titanium grey

no sony logo at the front and a olephobic coating (no anti shatter proof film)

4 speakers 2 at each side (not bottom but side) to create a surround effect

4.7 inch

as thin bezels as the xperia z or the zl
[Xperia Z1 General] unfaix:
THe freaking useless Panoramic.

Pressing the shutter will make the camera try to focus, but if you wait for it to fix on a focus point, it's too late.

You have to pag right when you press shutter, while it's trying to focus, so it doesnt focus on **** when youre panning because youll have to do it fast, but not too fast.
[Xperia Z1 General] xplod2841:
I think that you're asking too much :p I would be pleased that there was an S-Master Audio Chip. I would also like to have xenon flash but it's just impossible with such tiny phone, the capacitor wouldn't fit. But there are people working on capacitors like a piece of paper, too bad that it's not in use yet.

Smaller bezels and a edge-to-edge screen like on G2 would be great but hey, the phone is waterproof! And it houses a large camera sensor, so I think that we can forgive Sony for the bezels.

The thing I would definitely change is most of the software. The fact that Z1 holds on battery almost as same as Z which has a 2300 mAh while Z1 has 3000 mAh, and the fact that LG G2 lasts almost double longer when web surfing is making no sense. Z1 should last at least 8-10 hours of web surfing. And the second thing; camera! Those large bezeles, al those rumours about cameraphone, large senzor, bionz, g lens and all other fancy words and for what? LG G2 and SGS4 can take the same or even better photos in some cases. I think that this is a big issue.

Other than that, everything is perfect ;) Maybe a louder speaker would be great but again, it's a waterproof phone. That speaker is maybe louder than all other speakers on Samsung and LG phones, but it can't reach it's maximum loudness because of water protection on the speaker itself. It's a problem that Sony has been dealing with from the start. And more powerful speaker requires more space and stronger amplifier, which drains more battery.

My damn screen and back are all scratched for no reason..... what happened to anti scratch????
[Xperia Z1 General] xplod2841:
There is a screen-guard both on front and back glass. It's not scratch-resistant. You can take it off but you'll lose SONY logo. And what happened? You didn't take care for your phone enough. I never put my phone together with anything in my pocket and I'm using a case on my phones so they can't get scratched that easy.:D
[Xperia Z1 General] shubham2796:
1)I would change the place of usb slot to top so that it could be charged while its in the flip cover.

2)I would add 13MP mode in camera.

3)I would change the flash to xenon flash.

[Xperia Z1 General] stealthj:
I never mixed it with keys or anything. And some of these scratches are DEEP, like someone took a screw driver to them or something. Very disappointed. I don't think taking off the film you're talking about would take those deep ones away
[Xperia Z1 General] xplod2841:
How did you manage to do this? Are you sure that these are scratches? Maybe these are cracks; maybe your glass is broken? It wouldn't be the first time that this phone's glass got broken. If you keep it in your pants pocket it's very likely for the screen to get cracked when you sit down.

I have a 3 years old Xperia X10, without any scratch-protection and I don't have a single scratch. I dropped it hundreds of times but no scratch. So I don't get how you managed to scratch it. Maybe you're dealing with cracked glass.

Things to improve:

SCREEN:

1. make the front glass and back glass themselves shatter proof, scratch resistant and with oleophobic coating to make the front film ONLY optional.

2. don't make the film a mandatory thing, don't ship the units with it on.

3. do not print "sony" logo and any other logo on the front film - it's a cheap decision. either engrave it on the front glass itself or don't engrave it at all on the front.

4. 5.2 inch FHD highest quality IPS LCD available - dramatically improve the screen quality, especially the viewing angles to AT LEAST match the htc one/iphone 5s viewing angles. g2, iphone 5s and htc one screens are more impressive overall imo - all are higher quality IPS. i think that viewing angles are necessary for some and for others not. it's surely not good for a company to neglect those who care for viewing angles. i don't mean that the z1 screen is bad. i mean that higher quality IPS is the most balanced display and by that all users AND reviewers will be pleased because it's good in natural colors and it's good in viewing angles as opposed to the z1 screen - good in natural colors but bad in viewing angles.

5. gloves mode.

DESIGN:

1. consider all aluminum back and sides. less fragile then glass. i would say all sapphire design but the material still too expensive.

SOUND:

1. louder speaker or 2 speakers for a fuller and louder sound if possible.

2. higher quality audio - dedicated chip.

STORAGE:

1. 32gb as standard.

CAMERA:

1. better image processing to reduce noise.

2. OIS.

3. 4K ready.

4. dual LED.

OTHER:

1. IR blaster.

More on board memory 16Gb of which 11.72Gb is user memory is not enough especially as you cannot run apps from the SD card

Camera should have a more resolutions in manual mode ie something above 8Mp in Widescreen mode would have been nice.

I would like to think that Sony can add camera resolution options with software, along with improving on the noise reduction.

Better codec support out the box, I know that we can install MX Player, but still with only 16Gb onboard every Meg counts!!

Improve the screen, as thanks to the tariff I am on with Vodafone, I get SkySports and watching football included on my 4G plan...

[Xperia Z1 General] xplod2841:
:eek::eek: The only advantage of WP over Android is it's smoothness. And with Snapdragon 800 the Android is fast and smooth like iOS and WP on Xperia Z1 so there's not a single reason to put WP while Android is way better in every aspect. I do really like some Lumias but I would never buy any of them while WP is on it.
