another great theme by mikeyinid download here

originally posted by mikeyinid

NONE OF THE IMAGES IN THIS "THEME" ARE MINE. I TOOK BITS AND PIECES FROM SEVERAL THEMES IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET RID OF AS MUCH OF MOTOROLAS RED AS I COULD. THIS IS A SIMPLE THEME WITH LITTLE SUBSTANCE. IT IS MOSTLY STOCK SQUIDLY WITH SOME MINOR CHANGES. MOST APPS ARE THEMED GREEN, THE PROGRESS/VOLUME BARS ARE NOW GREEN, THE POPUPS AND PRESSED BUTTONS ARE GREEN. I USED THE SLIDERS FROM THE APEX REVOLUTION THEME. I HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOY IT

has anyone figured out how to stream 720p .mkv files to the tab? i've tried vlc stream and convert but that doesn't work. i've tried tversity and that doesn't work either. when i stream with vlc s&c, i just get a blank screen with no video but i get audio. with tversity, it doesn't even work at all. gives me an error saying video is not supported.

I have some success with Rock Video Player, and cifs supported kernel. I can map a drive, and browse files on my Windows 7 Machine, and pretty much play pretty much everything except large iso files or mpeg or vob files with the size of 4.0G size.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gotwillk:
rock video player can play videos over lan? how are you browsing a mapped drive, with es file explorer? you're using clemsyn's kernel? which one are you using: clempatch10.9.3CIFFsvegan.zip or clempatchvegan10.9.8.zip? i don't really know the difference between those two. i'm on vegan b5.1 right now.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] palagai:
@rob, i am also using vegan 5.1, can you explain how you are able to play the mkv files, and also is those mkv files are main profile, is there any high profile you are able to play.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rob_z11:
Mine is mostly DVD converted in Mkv files.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] sincerity:
yea using ES and whichever kernel, (both work) I can stream avi from win7 machine to grab, well I get video but no audio...try to turn volume up and get "media does not support stremaing, player wil be started automatically after transferring completely"

I've got the zagg invisible shield on my NS, and was wondering if I removed it, would it take off the anti-fingerprint coating with it?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] princeasi:
I thought the same thing after i put mine on. I'm sure if you take the time remove it carefully and slowly, you will not run into any problems.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ulver:

Good deal, nice to know for sure it won't harm the coating. Thanks sec

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sec6:
I didn't like the action of Swype with the Zagg shield on. Yes, it did function with the shield on, but I preferred it without, hence I "couldn't use Swype with the shield on."

I like d2g because of the keyboard, but locked bootloader:eek:

On the other hand, nexus s got latest android os (although things may change after 1 year, just nexus one),but worse in designing

I dont know which to choose, or u have other idea(eg. droid 3 is coming)

which one has the better camera??
[General Topics] titans808:
Google has the best camera :D
[General Topics] Loggerhead87:
It depends what you want. Think in terms of hardware and software. The Nexus S doesn't have cutting edge hardware, but its Google's example of the best Android experience they can offer on a phone at the moment. Phones like the Atrix from CES would be an uber option if you're looking for bleeding edge hardware. For me, I'm undecided about the crazy new phones coming out vs the Nexus S, when considering what Android phone to go with. A dual core phone would be pretty kick ass, but I wouldn't want to be stuck with an older, skinned version of Android and a locked bootloader.

[Defy General] dave79:
Hi I've now tried 4 different launchers and I can't make up my mind.

What launcher is generally the best, keeping up the speeds etc?

I just can't make up my mind. Any good suggestions?
[Defy General] LetoKynes:
I use LauncherPro on mine and really like it :)
[Defy General] samorgs:
Don't know about what is the "best launcher", whatever you like/feel most comfortable with.

I use Launcher Pro myself with Desktop Visualizer to theme my phone.
[Defy General] wilbur-force:
Have been a big LauncherPro fan but have recently been using ADW EX ..... its very quick and very pretty (great animations etc)

Try them all and see what you like :D
[Defy General] Gregsterific:
What 4 launchers did you try? So far i only used Launcher Pro & i'm happy with it.
[Defy General] bobbyphoenix:
Top 3 for me. ADW EX, GO, LauncherProPlus.
[Defy General] mattisekholm:
as a launcher i find the newest adw very smooth.but as i love the launcherpro plus's widgets,i choose it
[Defy General] psixda:
I'm using launcherpro free version and it has everything I need as home app.
[Defy General] heglen:
I just love the ADW EX version with all it's animations and smoothness. The developers that combines these things with LP+ widgets gets my vote. Now I just switch between them depending on mood.

Zeam was an excellent launcher on my low-end Pulse, it ought to make the Defy grow wings, but it's not that customizable.
[Defy General] pjcons:
I use zeam. Have used a few and this one does what i want it to do.

Just try a few different ones. :)
[Defy General] MarSOnEarth:
After reading the fora, I went with what seemed like the majority consensus, and on the third day of owing my Defy (my first Android phone), I bought LauncherProPlus. That was couple of months ago, and LauncherPro is all that everybody says. Now, I just installed the Go Launcher, and I have to say that it's superior. The two are so similar in concept that it might have been the same team that designed both, but the Go Launcher, in addition to doing everything that LauncherPro does, has features that make it much more useful and nicer to use. It has, for example, an intuitive interface for organizing apps into folders, in addition to hiding the unnecessary ones. Then it has a couple of settable gestures, the swipe up, and swipe down with which one can hide the notification bar, for example. It's 5x5 icons on the home screen implementation is flawless, unlike in LauncherPro, and the widget resizing method is also easier. Just nice touches all around, and none of them gimicky.
[Defy General] add.thebad:
i use adw launcher ex their are so manny different options if you like playing with them you can get it just how you like. its also the speediest i think
[Defy General] trickyhenry:
I would try HE launcher its free and simple. It has the best of all worlds.
[Defy General] dave79:
I tried Launcher Pro, LG Home, ADW and of course the standard Motoblur...

I'm kinda after something quick and smooth, doesn't have to be 15 homescreens etc. Um, I posted the original thread to see what tips you guys got.

//Dave
[Defy General] eykxas:
I use zeam launcher. it's a minimal launcher with low memory's consumption, but there is no cutomization.
[Defy General] dave79:
Wow, thanx for all tips!

Will now have to try the Go launcher, have to get ADW EX another go as well as HE Launcher.

//Dave
[Defy General] fabioporto:
Totally agree. Go Launcher is the one for me. Tried pretty much everything else and chose this one. LauncherPro is my second option. But I think Go Launcher is everything LaucnherPro is, and more. =)
[Defy General] yashank:
help

hey,im using launcher pro on moto defy phone.everything is working fine,but i just wanted to know how do i go back to my original homescreen without uninstalling the launcher?
[Defy General] bobbyphoenix:
You can't. That's one thing I found out on the Defy. If you install any other launcher the original Blur launcher cannot be selected. I've tried Home Switcher, having two launchers and trying to clear defaults, and any other thing you can think of. The only way to get Blur back is to uninstall all other launchers.
[Defy General] aks.techscience:
Not true....install an app called homesmack from the market....it is free and will allow u to switch very easily
[Defy General] labsin:
Or go to applications in settings and search for the launcher. Next select remove defaults (or something). Then when you press home, it will ask you witch one you want.
[Defy General] tlongren:
I've been using ADW free version since I got my Defy about 9 months ago. Fast, simple, and does what I need.

Had never heard of Zeam before this thread. Might have to give it a try just to see what it's like.
[Defy General] anxsds:
Unfortunately that is not the case with BLUR on this phone. HomeSmack (by TeslaCoil iirc) is the way forwards as aks.techscience mentioned.
[Defy General] bobbyphoenix:
For me Homesmack by itself wouldn't work. I had no default selected, but it kept LauncherPro as default. I was able to select Blur, but it would go back to LP if I pressed the home button. BUT with Homesmack AND Moto Home Fix installed I was able to select Blur as default, so now I don't have to uninstall any if I want to change. Thanks everyone who helped. I always hated that with Moto phones. To take the time and set up an alternate home only to need to delete it if I wanted to use Blur again. Here is the Moto Home fix link for anyone interested: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nightshadelabs.motoblurhome&feature=search_result
[Defy General] Palestrino:
LauncherPro .. the fastest of all
[Defy General] bra2006:
I also use Zeam, and find it had customizations aplenty. In fact there lots of comments in the market complaining it not minimalistic anymore.

I use it together with Folder Organizer.

Android Now More Popular Than iPhone In US

http://www.youmobile.org/blogs/entry/Android-Now-More-Popular-Than-iPhone-In-US

well i guess we all knew that part but reading on it said this...

In terms of the wider market including feature phones Samsung saw its U.S. marketshare increase from 23.6% to 24.5%. Everyone else saw their marketshare decline, LG losing 0.3% to stand at 20.9%, Motorola down 1.8% to 17% and RIM losing 0.2% for a total of 8.8%.

so why all the hate on samsung phones?
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
I think MOST of the hate towards Samsung is that they're slow to update software, followed by buggy OS releases, and finally the plastic construction.

I personally think they're making the best hardware out there right now, with some compelling products, as long as you can someone else (like Google or the dev community here) to make the software "right."
[Nexus S General] ap3604:
Can't wait till the Verizon iPhone comes out next week. The competition between Android and iOS is going to REALLY heat up and will result in much better phones for us :D
[Nexus S General] shrivelfig:
+1

I actually prefer the plastic construction. Using a metal touch-screen phone when the temperature is below freezing is not comfortable.

Also, what would happen if I dropped the phone? The Samsung frame and exterior parts would break, but by doing so less shock would be transmitted to the expensive parts inside. Which is how a motorcycle helmet works.

The worst thing about Samsung is the software. My I5700 will never be "right". A few dozen OS updates have been made, but nobody knows why, because none of the big bugs were ever fixed. Good hardware, lousy software.
[Nexus S General] chrisharmful:
I think it would be fair to say that 2010 was the year for Samsung, and judging by CES, 2011 will be the year for Motorola. And as far as the Verizon iphone goes, if what I heard is true (which would be a dumb move on Apple's part) and the iphone 4 will be coming out in the next month or so, Apple better have figured out their antena issue or there will be some very unhappy Verizon customers out there.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Not sure I agree that 2011 will the year of Motorola.

Samsung's announced (and released already) some compelling products for 2011. It's not just ALL about CPU speed or # of cores.

Granted it's a matter of preference, but in my opinion, no one's come close to Samsung's SAMOLED screens yet (iPhone 4's close, but not there), and SAMOLED Plus screens should be even better. With LTE phones and some really smart tablet designs, Samsung certainly going to be competitive.

Personally, I don't see myself with anything that's not SAMOLED or better...display size and appearance is most important to me these days, as long as the CPU/GPU are fast enough for my apps. So far 1ghz single core is there. Dual core not interesting until there's a killer app I need that requires it. Maybe in 20102...?
[Nexus S General] DKYang:
Who knows, Samsung might end up being on the top again this year depending on what announces they have at Mobile World Conference. I doubt Motorola has anything else up their sleeves if they are attending that conference after seeing what they announced at CES.
[Nexus S General] chrisharmful:
True, I tell everyone that samsung makes the best hardware in the mobile market. When I bought my Captivate, one of my iphone friends was sorely tempted to switch to the Captivate. So, software issues aside, Samsung hardware is the best out there at the moment. But the Atrix looks like it's going to be a serious piece of hardware.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Too bad Motoblur will ruin it, not to mention.. Motorola's hatred on opening the bootloader (*Cough* Droid X *cough*)

I highly doubt thats true, the iPhone is only ONE phone.. whereas Android is coming out from all directions. There's a new android phone/tablet/whatever coming out every other month, iPhone is coming out.. like every year or two?

I never even considered iPhone to be a competitor in terms of hardware.
[Nexus S General] ravidavi:
You don't think that the iPhone being released on America's 2nd biggest carrier will affect competition? Well here's a humbling fact:

Nobody who posts on XDA affects smartphone sales. We are a negligible fraction of smartphone users. You know who use smartphones, especially iPhones? Every teenager in America. Every college student in America. Mothers. Fathers. Grandparents. Everyone outside the small walls of XDA.

All of those people will perk up when then iPhone is released on Verizon. And the added competition will, necessarily, drive innovation for Android. That's a Good Thing.

You may not consider the iPhone as anything comparable to Android, and of course myself and everyone else who has the will to create an XDA account would agree, but the rest of the world does. And they're the ones that drive innovation, not us.
[Nexus S General] ravidavi:
So true. When I see all the great phones being released in 2011 with crazy amazing specs, all I can think is, "too bad they will all be crippled by the manufacturers and carriers."

Oh well, this Nexus S will ride me through all the guinea pig dual core phones of 2011. :)
[Nexus S General] chichoko:
I totaly agree with your last part.. oh well.. i guess we have to get used to it that we are the elite minority :)

Jokes aside.. the iPhone can be consisered as a competitor only because it is just another smartphone like all the Android phones out there.. when it comes to advancement the Android will always be ahead because of the sheer number of devices being available.. hetherto the iPhone is the iPod of the mp3 players..and its considered a trendy brand all teenagers must have until they grow up and get influenced by us veterans :P
[Nexus S General] tommyz2kool:
I think you're making it out to be a bigger deal than it is really. Yes I'm sure there will be decent VZW iphone sales, but most of the people who want an icrap already have one by now.

I really doubt there's even 10m icrap lovers out there on VZW that couldnt make the switch because they could get any service from ATT. 10m additional icrap users is nothing when android is has 300k new activations every day.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
You're becoming irrelevant the poster said:

Now what does he mean by better phones?

- Better Hardware? I highly doubt it, like I said previously; iOS is only one phone and releases every one or two years (Whatever it is) whereas Android releases one every other week. iPhone may beat the competition and have that "king" for a couple of months, but it is just a matter of time until something else takes over. iOS is only one phone, Android is attacking iOS from all angles (Motorola, Samsung, LG, HTC, and more).

- Better Firmware with newer updates? This may be on Apple's side due to Android's fragmentation but that is mainly due to manufacturers and the carriers. But since this is the Nexus forum, we're pretty much guaranteed to have the newest and latest Android version.

How exactly is this competition? There's a saying that says, "quality over quantity." Just because Lady Gaga is getting more sales than another artist doesn't mean that she's a better artist. Or another example is, just because more people use Windows.. does it necessarily mean that its a better OS than Linux? No. It just means that it is more "mainstream," it necessarily doesn't mean its better. For as I care, I can really care less about the numbers that iOS is selling compared to Android. This is pretty much Mac vs. Windows revisited but on a more portable battlefield.

And I highly doubt that Verizon would stop marketing the "Droid" just because they have the iPhone. Droid has been a highly successful marketing term for them.

Stereotypical much? That's like saying every teenager in the U.S. has a iPod. Yeah the majority has one but does it mean every single one of them have a iPod? No.

And XDA has a iPhone section, just saying.

Also.... as another backup statement, since iPhone is not exclusive to ONE carrier in Europe.. they have multiple carriers (Vodafone, T-Mobile UK, etc)... take a look at their perspective. Take a look at who's striving there, Android or iOS?
