I can understand the freshness iPhone brings about to its new users, as I experienced using the phone for more than half of a year. For the first few months it felt really great, everything was just more than perfect, and I did not even think about using any phone other than iPhone.

But after six months, I changed my mind. My iPhone 3G was so boring, there is nothing left of the phone that could hold me back. And I decided to get a new HD2. Only after that, I asked myself a question "Why was I stuck with the boring iPhone for that long?"

Anyways, your needs and demand will decide which phone is the best for you.

Not buying an Iphone is the best thing I ever did, and whats more I shall continue to not do it.

Thats what I thought when I bot the iphone 2G a few years back, I actually used it for close to a year before getting the HTC Tough Diamond. It was ok for 3 months before I got the SE Xperia X1. That was ok too until it broke down on me. After that I tried the Nokia E71 (which I tot was a brilliant phone btw). Used that for another 6 months before I got the iphone 3GS. But surprisingly the 3GS did nothing for me. I tot it was kinda boring as I did not see that much difference with the 2G (in terms of UI).

Now, I have an Android Supercharged Nexus one. And in all honesty, this is the best phone I have ever owned. The Brilliant UI, the Speed of this phone, the screen, the openess of the OS is really revolutionary if you ask me. I can safely say that I will be an android OS user for years to come.
[General Topics] 8525Smart:
Well, I did mention this in my post. Missing basic features is something that has been an issue with the iPhone since the 2G. I mean, even as I use my 3GS, I still wish it had the basic feature of being able to save .GIF images.

It is frustrating sometimes, but most issues aren't that overwhelming and I wasn't too disappointed because I knew coming into the iPhone that there would be issues such as this.

In all fairness, the iPhone's battery life seems comparable to every other smartphone I've used. In fact, it actually seems a bit better in comparison to my Fuze, which is amazing when you take into consideration some of the factors, such as the larger screen, faster processor, and, most noticeably, the fact that it only has a 1219mAh battery vs the Fuze's 1340mAh.

Well, yes, the 3GS' UI is the same as the 2G's. All the iPhones uses the same OS, after all. UI changes tend to come with OS updates (regardless of which iPhone model you own) and, even then, changes are limited as, of course, Apple likes to keep their interface simple and familiar. The upcoming iPhone OS 4 is probably the biggest change in a while and even UI changes in that is limited.

Unfortunately, while I've used Android, my knowledge of that and the Nexus One is still limited. Nonetheless, I have read reviews and watched 'benchmarks' of the N1, and I still prefer the 3GS, but that is really just my preference. The N1 is a great phone, though.

P.S. I agree with you regarding the E71. It is a brilliant phone.

Im still using my 3GS btw and I use it for music, movies and games....for everything else I use my Nexus
[General Topics] JAguirre1231:
So.... you use your Nexus as a phone and the iPhone as an iPod Touch?
[General Topics] nazrin313:
Hahah yeah..kinda...im also using my 3GS for my wifi tethering purposes as Ive got my unlimited data plan on that... :) so win-win I guess..
[General Topics] souljaboy:
u know u can change the sim card , rite ?
[General Topics] nazrin313:
LOL of cos buddy...but I actually have 2 different sims (1 for my phone usage and another for an unlimited plan). So, I just use my 3GS as my router at home for my internet purposes hehehe.

I take my Nexus every where I go...I think overall the Nexus wins as its a more capable device compared to my iphone 3GS.

Yes! You are very "open" in your java sandbox! But despite the missing kernel access in a way I agree. You can probably still customize enough for the "usual" needs, and so after the decline of Windows Mobile 6.x you might consider Android the last "geek friendly" OS....
[General Topics] eaglesteve:
Hi 8525Smart,

While I can agree that moving from winmo to iPhone is a good decision, have you stopped and think if your decision is still the best in light of the rich array of Android phones (such as the HTC Supersonic) available these days? The large size screen, a UI that is way better than winmo's and quite close to iPhone's, better notification system, attractive widgets, dual flash, nice camera, fast processor, ... Or are you just so happy with iPhone that you're not thinking of potentially even better phones? I'm not saying that Android is better as I don't know the answer yet myself. I'm just wondering if you have seriously given Android a chance and to find out as much as you can about it?
[General Topics] ramdroid77:
WOW! You have removed your iLinks in your signature! That's nice... :cool:
[General Topics] nazrin313:
Having used a myriad of different devices including iphone OS, winmo, Symbian and recently Android...I can say (IMHO) that Android has blown my mind in terms of usability, customability, user experience and more importantly potential. Having seen a taste of the Iphone 4.0 OS, it has not shown many upgrades as compared to a jailbroken iphone. My current 3GS has all the bells and whistles of jailbreaking but some how still fall a lil short of my Nexus one...

just my 2 cents thou.

[General Topics] eaglesteve:
Hey OP, you're invited too to find out how Android compares to iPhone in that thread.
[General Topics] friend'scatdied:
The best thing about the 3GS is how fast it is thanks to the highly-polished OS. The fit and finish of the software stack is paradigm -- nothing else comes even close.

The only reason I sold my own 3GS was out of boredom and because of the underwhelming screen resolution. However, even a jailbroken iPhone doesn't quite approach the level of flexibility of a WinMo phone with a well-cooked custom ROM.
[General Topics] 8525Smart:
Thank you for your response, Eagle.

As I said, I did consider Android when I decided to switch from WinMo, but ultimately, what made me choose the iPhone was the larger app store. I did take into consideration all the factors (or at least the ones I could think of) of Android, such as XDA support, the wider variety of hardware, and the superior specs. Furthermore, I did spend some time using Android (the ported one on the Fuze and I actually used the Dream).

Ultimately, I think I made the right choice. Aside from the better specs (which negates the most important part, the CPU, due to the iPhone's OS being so incredibly well optimized anyway), I don't think I have any reason to regret not choosing Android.
[General Topics] eaglesteve:
How long ago was that?

Around the time when I seriously compared Winmo and iPhone, I also took at look at Android. There was only the Dream available then, and that was the ugliest phone I've ever seen. It has a keyboard, yak! Did I mention that the moment I see a hardware keyboard on any phone, I would immediately write it off? Anyway, I did play with it in the shop and hated every bit about it. I still can't stand the sight of it today.

But HTC Supersonic is different. Froyo is different. That's why I'm taking a look very seriously once again.

Anyway, do feel free to visit my thread. I'm sure you can still add value to it.

Cheers.

Wow. A big hug with lots of love between iPhone users.

[General Topics] 8525Smart:
Was my research to decide what to switch to? It ended in March, but it began roughly mid-January, so I had a period of roughly two months to study, and make the decision.

I can understand your worry, though. You think I might have thought highly of the iPhone due to the Android options at the time being poor, right? Fortunately, that is not the case. At the time I began research, the Nexus One was already available, and, during that time, numerous other Android phones soon popped up allowing me multiple chances to reconsider.

Indeed, the Evo 4G is another update in this line (albeit too late now), but frankly, it's not that much better than the HD2 which was available at the time I began consideration. Only thing I see to make it stand out is that it has 4G and it has a slightly better camera. I'm also not seeing what is special about Froyo either: Aside from finally having flash (which seems like a situation of 'too little, too late'), I'm not so certain why it should change my mind. It's supposed to provide a major performance boost, but I'll need to see it first before I can determine if it's worth anything.

Yes, I'm reading through it now. I'm not sure how much I can contribute as although I've used Android, I didn't use it to nearly the extent of the iPhone. Nonetheless, I will go through it to see what has been said.

Please, someone give me a link to a good iPhone forum so I can create a thread about how buying a WinMo phone was the best thing I ever did. It changed my life I tells ya.
[General Topics] 8525Smart:
Here you go:

http://www.iphoneowners.com/watercooler/

Their 'Watercooler' section is basically the section where users can talk about subjects not related to the iPhone (you know, sort of like XDA's 'General' section), so you can post about how great WinMo is.

Godspeed to you, brother!

[General Topics] chikoo:
The few times I have answered my wife's iphone, the frustrating task was to hang up up the call. It does not have a hardware key to do that. The Red software button that is used to end the call isn't that great in feeling responsive. After you touch it, it takes a couple of seconds before the screen goes away. Made me punch the soft button couple of times because it made me feel that the call did not end.
[General Topics] MooGoo:
Yes I always found this pretty absurd. It is supposed to be a phone, but the two most important functions on a phone, Call and Hangup, are not directly available. Yes it only takes two (three?) clicks but it should only need one.

This is another reason why I dislike WP7. I suppose manufacturers could add Call and End buttons to their phones but they are not required to, and given the current anti-button climate I bet many of them will not.

really with any iphone if you dont want to have to deal with the app store and still get the apps (with out paying for them) jailbreak your iphone and add Installuos (then anything in the app store you can get for free) and once you can get any app out there at no cost whats better then that yes im cheap lol ill download the program for free no matter how much it cost and try it out then if its something i really like then ill buy it :p app store for tomtom is 99.99 with installuos its 00.00 and im really not a apple fan i never had been i have 2 laptops that are running windows 7 then 2 pos computers (i really mean POS) one is a amd 750mhz with 640 mb ram windows xp NO CASE just a pile of parts setting on a piece of plastic and then i have a 1.8 p4 with 1.5 gig ram running mac osx 10.5 and thats another system NO case i guess at least with no cases i dont have to worry about ventolation :D the only reason i have the xp system is for working on my Wizard phone and the mac is for testing the Iphone 4.0 beta 4 (because you cant use windows :/)

maybe give the app root access in superuser permissions :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] craig0r:
To clarify...

Click the "Allow" or "Always Allow" button. This shows up when an application is trying to perform a function that needs root access. Think of it like Windows Vista/7's UAC.

just flash and it didnt work. took forever to load so guessing it deleted delvik on its own. any suggestions
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
I'll need more detail than that. What by didn't work do you mean? What does your logcat say? It'll definitely take a while to boot, as a framework change will cause a cache rebuild.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kratos313:
Will there be a metamorph for it as well?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
I honestly don't even know what an 'Xperia' is...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
I'll definitely do MetaMorphs for the textless & wallpaper versions, as this affects other framework files that you may already have done customizations to.

However, for this "stock" version, a MetaMorph is not necessary, as it will NOT affect any other changes you've made in any way. It will simply replace the standard Vanilla lock screen with the Rotary version.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Honestly, it makes no difference to me whether you use this mod or not, so feel free to undo if you wish.

Having said this, my post here explains in detail, when/if using the wallpaper version, how to modify / use / change the applied wallpaper.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
I'm not using that ROM, so I can't really speak to what version is being provided and how it may have been modified. However, you can go to the OP of this thread to find what you want/need directly, and apply accordingly.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] th3taman:
Honestly, I wasn't trying to be mean by my comments. I appreciate the help you've provided.

I did follow your instructions. I'm just wondering why it applied my the theme lockscreen wallpaper instead of mine? Could it be that metamporh always locks up when applying the change and the update doesn't get made completely?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
No offense taken. Just seemed like you were "threatening" to uninstall :p.

Could be, as MetaMorph can be very finicky, especially when applying to framework files. Just check the referenced wallpaper image in the framework-res file to see what it is, and change to what you want.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] th3taman:
Sorry, didn't mean to have it sound threatening.

Just wish to have my wallpaper on the screen. So I tried applying again, obviously some of your metamorph zip is working because all of the text is gone, but the lock and mute icons are changed to what is in the theme and the lockscreen.

Not sure what else I can do other than uninstall the theme?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Yep, that theme will replace those images. You can grab the stock 'framework-res.apk', and drop in the stock images that were replaced, or replace the whole darn thing, which will undo other changes as well.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] smw6180:
What are the filenames for the lock and audio icons on the lockscreen? I want to play around with those but I'm stuck at work and can't get into the apk to look around.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
"ic_jog_dial_*" in the "drawable-mdpi" folder of "framework-res.apk".

Hey guys I need some help. Hope no one bashes me to hard on this one as I am sure is completely simple. Very new to all of this stuff. currently running damages 2.08.1 ROM. I have problems with anything that involves using the command prompt on the computer. I was able to root my phone just fine thank to the great step by step instructions. But when I try installing new themes or mods that require me to use the command prompt I just get lost. I have downloaded this lock screen just fiine, I just cannot get past removing the stock HTC screen through adb. My phone is plugged into the computer, and when i enter the first command on the OP it says 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command. what am i doing wrong? anyone know?

In the command prompt is says I am in my C:\users\adam

should i be in a different location? if so, how to i get to that location through the command prompt?

I know these are all very basic, stupid questions and I hate bugging you guys, but if I dont ever ask, i wont ever get help.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jkryspinjr:
The quick way would be to type the following in the command prompt:

cd c:\

That will put you at c:\

Then from there you move to (more than likely):

cd android-sdk-windows\tools

Which will move you to: c:\android-sdk-windows\tools

Hey and I know this is probably a noob question....... It seems that I can't turn off my alarm clock! I saw that there was a fix but it didn't say if it would fix the rotary version.

MetaMorph

I just installed the rotary lockscreen and downloaded MetaMorph from the market. I downloaded the files and in clicked pick existing theme in meta morph. I followed some file paths until i got to a .xml file and then it gave me an error that said the theme control file is missing. Am i doing something wrong?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] danaff37:
these metamorphs are for the old version of metamorph that use a .thm control file, hence your problem.

here is an xml to work with any of these metamoprhs. change the file name to match the .thm file (but obviously with .xml instead of .thm and minus the .txt part). Also, open in a text editor and change the second line, where it says [themename]rotary[/themename] so that in between the tags it matches the file name(minus the .xml extension)

then place the xml right next to the .thm in your /sdcard/androidthemes/xxx_rotary folder on your phone
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
The new MetaMorph has changed the file format. As such, all previous MetaMorph files have become obsolete. Best bet is to downgrade back to the previous version of MetaMorph (linked earlier in this thread).

Remove Haptic Feedback from Rotary Lockscreen

EDIT: The version posted here is NOT compatible with the official Sprint 2.1 deodexed release. For a compatible no haptic version for the official 2.1 deodexed release, see here.

Attached is an add-on mod to remove the haptic feedback from the rotary lockscreen. Flash this from recovery, after having first flashed the actual rotary mod from the first post.

This is based off of Fresh 2.0d, so it is compatible with similar ROMs / versions.
