[G2 and Desire Z General] ScottC:
I have both in front of me - and I'm 100% in the "G2" team. The MT4G looks slick, but they have tweaked and modded Android to the point where it just pisses me off.

Every single app has something stock android doesn't do. After coming from the N1, the G2 feels the most like it, but the MT4G is in a league of its own. I'm sure it has a following, but it sure as hell isn't designed for people who like to tinker with their devices.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Noyabronok:
I have both phones in front of me, and I've been playing with them for a few days. I came from a G1 and I thought that G2 would be the one for me, but I just don't get it. How is the G2 so much more customizable than than MT4G? Sure it has a physical keyboard, so it's got more in that sense, but as far as OS features go I just don't see a huge difference. On the con side it has extra bulk/thickness. The hinges are prone to failure and it's missing the FFC. I actually think G2 should be more customizable than stock allows. I like Cyanogen roms, so if the MT4G can be rooted and Cyanogen supported then there is no question that MT4G would be a better phone for me. Even without Cyanogen and full root I'd say that MT4G is a tiny bit better. They're even phones at the least.

By the way, you're going to get people that are biased towards the G2 on this thread, and you will get people that are biased towards the MT4G on the MT4G thread. You will also see that bias in the poll.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kunichiwa:
I like the g2 because I really don't like the way the camera is on the mytouch.. they fact that its raised on the back of the device just annoys me and it feels like u would scratch the lens way too easily. I also like the build quality of the g2 better than the mytouch
[G2 and Desire Z General] c_licious:
MT4G

Totally feel your pain cause I was in the same boat. Had the Nexus for almost a year until I replaced it with the G2.

I really like how the G2 lies in your hand when you're browsing the web in landscape mode with the keyboard out. I'm not a huge fan of the keyboard mainly because it doesn't have dedicated number keys and the size of it makes typing slower and more strenuous than on the G1 (which I had before the Nexus).

I was also a bit annoyed by the way the keyboard backlighting kept turning itself on and off in medium light conditions without having the option to have it always on when the keyboard is used.

The hinge is a big question mark with some disaster potential. I guess only time will tell. Having said that I didn't mind the looseness too much. I also really like the slick business look to the G2 although it is definitely bulky when compared to my nexus or the MT4G. Overall it's an awesome device though and I definitely grew font of it during the 3 weeks I owned it.

When the MT4G came out I decided to give it a try cause I still had 10 days in my remorse period. The genius button and mysense took some getting used to. Definitely prefer vanilla android. LauncherPro, visionary, and Titanium Backup helped me remove a lot of crap and get a bit more vanilla flare back although there are also certain things I like better about the sense UI (copy/paste, eMail app, facebook app,)

I like the camera app better on the MT4G. Simply takes better pictures. FFC isnt a big deal for me but certainly doesn't hurt.

I definitely miss the soft buttons on the MT4G. The plastic hard buttons feel a little cheap and I would prefer not having to actually click them. I guess its cause I've been so used to the Nexus. I also agree with parts of the Engadget review about the lag of aesthetics. Overall the MT4G feels a lot thinner and smaller though which was what won me over.

Verdict:

I still have 4 days left in my remorse period but decided to keep the MT4G. Both are good devices so it totally depends on what you want. In the end it was the thinness that won me over to the MT4G and the black looks actually quite slick. Good luck deciding and just remember, you really can't go wrong with either one.
[G2 and Desire Z General] meltedmoops999:
G2. Better UI. No silly MySense interface that MT4G has. Only good thing about the MT4G is the FF camera but so be it. G2 is the best way to go if your looking to get something for grown up (in a sense).
[G2 and Desire Z General] under0ath888:
after messing with my little sisters mytouch i told her how much i didn't like it and she said i don't care i can talk text and video chat. then i asked video chat with who? and she walked away ha.

the my touch seems like it's just geared more towards highschool girls
[G2 and Desire Z General] smirkis:
keyboard vs touchkeys only. best looking device ever vs mytouch line of plastic cheapo. love the commercials tho
[G2 and Desire Z General] PolishDude:
have you held a mytouch 4g? its nothing like the old ones, i had a g2 and returned it for a mytouch, they feel the same solid in my hand....well actually with no loose hinge wiggle, the mytouch feels better built :)

And best looking is very subjective....when i had the g2 and vibrant at the same time, my friends saw the g2 as a downgrade in the looks department
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Drukan:
Now that I know who REALLY made this ROM, I would like to RE-Share the theme i made for it ...

As with all my themes (if you've ever used one) Its a BLUE variation to the original theme used by the ROM creator.

BLUE POINT TWO

Screenies to come... or see previous thread....

Screenshots HERE
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] RegnierD:
Not to be nasty, sir, but you might wanna check your title... There's an "N" where an "M" should be in Warm. :)

I'm excited to try the theme though!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Drukan:
already fixed it , thanx !
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Stoney 666:
Link down.....

Edit... worked 2nd time.

Edit#2... the blue looks cool, but needs to be updated to rls3. This theme changes the rosie to the old one and disables the rosie settings. Once that is updated, it will be killer! Even better in red for my taste.....
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Drukan:
Sorry, i havent actually USED this ROM, so i was unaware of the newer version of Rosie. I will look in to updating with the newer one themed.

For now, users can use an explorer app to delete the ROSIE folder from within the theme's folders and it will skip over it.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] myn:
Looks very nice :)

I'd love to see this updated for RLS3 with the new Rosie and Rosie Settings that supports assignable applications to the left and right buttons.

Let me know if you need any help.

Thanks again.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Drukan:
Thanx man... I been quite busy lately but i plan on gettin it all done this week ...!!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronjeremy11:
When I click on a text box I start typng and the box disappears. I type in another box and it wont show the whole box, if I navigate to a word off the screen nothing changes it doesn't move to show the word. These things don't happen every time but they happen enough. Like so many of the crappy things about android, if I didn't have an iPhone to compare it to I'd just think it's normal to experience some type of glitch large or small any time I use my phone's for more than a few seconds. I had a 3g and after I saw the I4's display I had to get one but I still have my vibrant and nexus. The incredible disparity between the I4 display and any android display is a whole different discussion. But when I use my 3g or I4 everything just works and looks nice, i don't get booted to the homescreen from the browser randomly. Things just consistently work. Just all those little glitches are so damn old on android. Its been too long to act like android is still new, its becoming the operating system for the masses which naturally implies less standards than the more exclusive apple OS.. My phone still does random reboots. It freezes without even trying to handle much. But the browser just acts like a 3rd party application compared to apple. As i type this im trying to navigate around the zoom icon thats hiding text, the text box is tiny and jerks around when i try to move the cursor. ts not even close to apple but its almost as old and experienced . People who haven't used an iPhone can tell me to go f myself but the rest of u understand. Isn't it ok to hold android to the gold standard that is the iPhone? Can we expect some elements of android and specifically the browser to "just work" as all of the elements of an iPhone do? I want to prefer android butits so far behind apple in terms of operating system that androids advantage in features is almost negaated by the fact that's so unpleasant to use those features. Anyone think gingerbread can really be the big step android needs? Because it needs a ton
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kangxi:
ProTip: Get the XDA App if you want to post on the forums.

The browser works just fine for me. The iPhone utilizes GPU acceleration for the UI which is why it appears smoother overall. Guess what? Gingerbread will use the GPU for its UI also. Gingerbread is mostly focusing on making everything with the UI better so just hang on for that.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadoxity:
Hey everyone,

I am just after some suggestions on a stable fast eclair rom or other suggestion?. I figure they should be a bit more developed and stable than the froyo ones.

I have used a couple eclair and been through a bunch of froyo roms, however they seem fast after flash then a week or few days later they take forever to do anything and it is so frustrating having to wait 20 odd seconds to open a new txt message.

I have around 2000 messages and when first flashed everything runs great then a few days later its just painful.

Is there a rom that this wont happen on? any suggestions?

I would like to be able to play the occasional game if possible too

Cheers
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamal717:
Thats strange froyo roms never really slow down for me all though i dont download many apps or play games have you tried the official froyo ported from the mytouch? or use cyan 6.1 they both run pretty quick for me just play around with it see what works best for you and remember setcpu can help you out with speed especially for games :) or just stick with eclair thats what i do complete eclair 2.21
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
Try the official mytouch ROM, if that doesn't suffice then nothing ever will.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadoxity:
Thanks guys, any tips where i can find this official ported rom? i have not noticed it on the g1 forum. unless im looking for the wrong name?

Thanks for that :) See how it goes. Currently on complete eclair and that is good

Taken from here. I spent several hours today along with Idkwhothatis123 (from xda here :)) blending fold, fly-in and bounce to get it how we liked it :D I'll make an flashable zip for people upon request because everyones framework will be different with themes/roms etc.

this is a link to a zipped anim folder you can replace by

This is no longer necessary unless you would rather use adb. there is a metamorph file attatched download that and put on the root of your sd and download metamorph from the market its free :D

adb shell
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
#exit
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk

Then open up the res.apk with your choice archive manager. Replace the /framework-res.apk/res/anim folder with the one I've provided.

Reboot into recovery and

adb shell
#mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
#exit
adb push yoursdk/tools/framework-res.apk /system/framework/

I hope this makes sense and you guys like it :D

I am a N1 user with MIUI ROM..

Can you give me those files only(from anim folder) which you have modified? If I replace the whole folder, then it stucks on bootloop.. :(

Also the lockscreen of MIUI is different, so please dont give me the files which has animations for the lockscreen..

Thanks..
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] M@XLOL:

In the video, clearly seen in the market, new pages fly in from the left with a bounce.

New pages for me fold in from the old. Ideas?

Anyone have any idea why every time I try to use Metamorph, it not only does not work but it themes my market and makes it force close. I've used MM for themes before successfully, custom dialer witch I'm still using without issues. Hopefully someone can help. I also had the same result with a MM for removing icon text. I would really like to use some of these morphs, any help would be appreciated. By the way, running Caulks 1.4 with Riptides theme. Here is my framework, maybe a flashable zip would help.

i didn't have any luck with adb or metamorph. ive been using this program i found called andro commander... it's basically a windows explorer for ur phone... u can browse system files etc thru windows, pull push files nd lots more!!! Its awesome... i just took ur anim folder outta the zip nd pulled framework folder thru andro commander nd copied the new anim folder then pushed back to phone nd rebooted... worked like a charm great blend of animation btw!!! i just wish sense would animate when pushing home button like aosp nd launcher pro :( i will note that allthough this may have had something to do with my method of application... all my synced accts got wiped!!! had to resync but not biggie.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Jfree3000:
Yeah metamorph works, only thing I am seeing different on my phone than the video you posted is that when I exit back to the home screen from any other screen or app it exits normally (just fades) instead of collapsing in the middle but all the other animation work. Is this b/c its an Evo not a Samsung or am I missing something?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] M@XLOL:
It should work the same (it works just the same on my EVO)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bl8zn:
same here.................
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JasonK75:
I extracted the .rar file and put it on the SD card and used MetaMorph. When the phone rebooted all I got was items to force close so I had to reboot the phone and go restore to my backup.

I'm using CyanogenMod 6.1 with LauncherPro and a battery tweak using the online theme maker. Is any of that the problem?

Otherwise here is my framework file if you could make the changes to it so that I can flash it as a zip file.

I loved what I saw and I need to have it!!! :D

Edit: I found out how to do it on another thread and have some awesome ones now!

I can't reboot or do anything...help please lol

*I have read where if your battery is too low you can get errors while trying to restore so I am charging and will try again* Then will see whats going wrong with metamorph attempts

working fine for me with Fresh 3.4.0.1. however, animation to home screens does not work. works great otherwise
