Hey guys, I downloaded an MIUI-themed gingerbread keyboard. It's the Gingerbread keyboard accented with very dark blue keys and light blue accented text.

How would I go about editing the colors? i want to change the accented color to green to match the Android system color. It's a flashable zip I downloaded from the MIUI dev forums.

I haven't a clue how to program stuff like that, lol.

Hope this makes sense...

With the monsoon tidal wave ultra onslaught of that which is android, and in addition to all the other OS's (be it iOS, WP7, or WebOS) they've got some stiff competition from all sides. And it's only going to get...stiffer.

So.

What do you guys think? I really don't know what to expect. On one hand...it's freaking Nokia! They can't be defeated with their vast numbers!! On the other hand.... every time I open Tech Blog____ and read about the monstrous market share eating monster that is android... well they could soon have the vast numbers.

Then there's Apple. I'm sure Nokia is aware of their existence. WP7 has MS backing of course, and WebOS has HP.

Nokia! Sink or swim? :D

I also humbly request a genuine discussion... /no hardcore platform bashing :D

I have never bought or used a Nokia.

It's mainly for politically reasons, Nokia have profilated it self as a Pro EU company from a pro EU country. I simply don't like the EU and hence Nokia.

What will happen to Nokia perhaps going the same way as Siemens.

Wasn't that german company bought by the Benq?

What happened to the Benq-siemens, I just know that I never would buy anything from nor Siemens or Benq nor from Benq-Siemens.

Maybe the last thing Nokia will do is bringing a upcoming (and greedy) Asian company down the drain with them.

Anything thats bad for EU-economics means a hope for freedom from the "EU ist freiheit macht centralizing, sieg hail EU"

I just don't understand why America hasn't seen any smartphone action from Nokia. When I got my myTouch 3G I remember thinking, "Hey! Where the hell did Nokia go, anwyay?"
[Off-topic] avgjoegeek:
I think if Nokia can re-structure internally and come out looking like HTC then sure they might be able to come back. Provide great hardware and an even better smartphone experience... hmm.

But the hardware would have to be superior and the software would have to be better then Sense. Not a small feat for a company that is 3 years behind the 8 ball.

And if they were really smart they would have WebOS and Win7 options also. I haven't seen a Nokia phone in the states here for years and totally forgot all about them.

So... their Marketing dept would need to be re-vamped to pimp their products too :)
[Off-topic] Phateless:
If Nokia's HARDWARE QC process was tighter than HTC's I would jump ship. I LOVE my MT4G but the hardware issues (many people have exchanged their phone FOUR TIMES, including me!) are just ****ing ridiculous.

Get it together, HTC!!

If Nokia built me a 4 inch touch screen with comparable specs to the MT4G but a faster camera and the charge port on my bottom I would consider letting go of the myTouch.

EDIT - LOL, charge port on THE bottom! Not MY BOTTOM. Haha, I'm leaving that up there. :D

So that's the concept... I dunno.. and I was kinda suspicious of a nokia microsoft party after they got an Ex-Microsoft exect to be the new nokia ship. They have pretty wicked cameras and good aluminum unibody design senses... I'd like to see more of this on android :p
[Off-topic] jiwengang:
I used their phone before, and for the record, they are the FIRST one to have Video Chat over GPRS service back in 2005. I tried that back then and it actually worked, better than face time except the screen was smaller.

I think for Nokia to play a catchup game that is almost a no-go given the size of the company that may slow down the speed of catchingup.

They have to find strategic aliance to form new sorts of concepts and new innovations to "shock" the world, then the devs and fans will come in because people will be facsinated to see a creative product line, not a copy-cat in some way.

I wish them good. They manufactured great phones actually, stable and durable.

In phone area, or old school phone area, I think they are the no1, much better than Moto/Samsung/LG etc.

[Thunderbolt General] smilesuhas:
Now, the charging port is on left side....and if you have to use the kickstand, say to watch youtube or live stream movies, you cant charge it same time coz the kickstand is such that the phone will stand on the left side,i.e. left side is facing down, so obviously you cannot connect charging port....duh...they could not even think of this simple design logic?
[Thunderbolt General] superchilpil:
Odds are if your watching videos your holding the phone, because most phones today dont have a kickstand for you to do so. though you could probably flip the phone around and put something between the kickstand and the phone to keep it up while you charge

Plus the phone kickstand also works upward as well, so for skype video calls you still can charge

Seems like a Third party will make a landscape dock if it becomes a huge issue, which i doubt... no offense
[Thunderbolt General] ACD168:
Just finding things to complain about. not everything can work out perfect..
[Thunderbolt General] psychomaniac189:
maybe they did this to get people to buy a dock
[Thunderbolt General] kenyu73:
Left side kickstands were on clearance. :p

I'm sure we can find some China made back replacements that have the kick stand going in the other direction.

I do agree though, it's silly that MOTO made it that way when Android can rotate easily in the other direction. Maybe they could have at least designed it to be universal and snap on either way.
[Thunderbolt General] chimpsnest:
I'm retracting my stupid Q, because it was in fact probably the stupidest thing I've ever asked, lol. I wasn't thinking about the kickstand only being one way.
[Thunderbolt General] Bang3r:
Evo user here. Trolling the TB forum, because I have a friend that is on VZW, and she is going crazy in waiting for this thing to drop.

I must say, that this is a pretty big blunder. I use my EVO on the kick-stand in landscape all the time, while charging. Can't imagine how this was overlooked and/or ignored.

Dumb, dumb, dumb, but that is just my opinion...
[Thunderbolt General] Shaquiel Harris:
My charging port is on the left too. But my kickstand on my case is awesome so this isn't the case. :D

Sent from my Rooted God-like HTC Vision.
[Thunderbolt General] andydumi:
Can it not use the kickstand in the other direction? As in lay it on the right edge and the stand flat on the ground?

I thought a video showed them doing it. They said the spring was stronger than EVO and this actually worked.
[Thunderbolt General] Bang3r:
I think so, yes, but that would be in Portrait (<-edited), which is not ideal for video watching (what I do with my Evo while plugged in sometimes).

It does appear to be a lot better kickstand (wider, stronger spring, etc.) than the Evo.
[Thunderbolt General] andydumi:
I think you meant portrait.

But I do mean landscape on the right edge, not left. Which would put the charge plug at the top (also not ideal).

Essentially when you flip out the kick stand, instead of laying the phone so the kickstand has a space under it, like a tripod, lay the phone the other way, where the kickstand is flat on the ground in its entire width and the spring supports the weight of the phone upright.
[Thunderbolt General] Bang3r:
Oops, yes I meant Portrait...TY. Prior post changed to make me not look crazy!

Ahh, I see what you are saying. If that is the case, then my concern would be proven moot....
[Thunderbolt General] RicMor:
You wouldn't be able to replace the kickstands as the cover comes off halfway and the stand stays intact. The stand is part of the body of the phone, not the case.
[Thunderbolt General] coolsilver:
I call this the "Right handed" landscape. I find it perfect with the kickstand.

As far as the charging port. I find that it is better on the left.

If I was using my right hand to click and use the phone the cord would be in my way over my arm constantly. Instead it would be under my arm and out of the way.

Though the location in any case being at the bottom is better than top, it's still hard to hold the phone with the left hand being in the way.

I'm not going to be using it for movies often. My workplace more or less doesn't want to even see it on the desk so using it as a nice desk clock is even out.
[Thunderbolt General] Geegolly:
Coming from the EVO, all I can say is this has me a little worried but not deterred. I'd say this is more of a blemish as opposed to a big fault though. I'll most likely just put up with it.

Also being an EVO user, I can say that my kickstand saw A LOT of use while on the charger.

After all, the kickstand was designed for watching porn hands free.
[Thunderbolt General] NCX Designs:
The placement of the charge port only shows that HTC might have plans for it, like the canceled Desktop dock by HTC for the Droid Incredible, citing landscape support as the cause of cancellation.

I've seen a couple of videos that show the ThunderBolt being used in portrait mode (ie: standing up) using the kickstand which would free up the USB connector for charging instead of landscape where it blocks the port.

as for the kickstand not being replaceable, that might be a flaw in design but that area of the phone is also the unibody aluminum frame. We can be grateful that HTC decided to make the entire battery/sim/microSD area accessible via a removable battery cover on top of the Unibody frame. Seeing the reviews of the Desire HD and Inspire 4G its one of the cons of the unibody design since its hard to remove the battery/microSD/sim card.

and yes, this phone will have a SIM for the LTE service, its even been shown off how the SIM slot is accessible in the unboxing video Wirefly posted, and that is a pretty nifty way to hide it, kudos to HTC on the design.

I can't wait to hear the sound quality of the back speaker under the kickstand, i've been waiting for something louder than the Incredible, the sound quality is top notch for a phone with that size of a speaker but its not loud enough for use in somewhat louder conditions like working in a loud environment where earbuds are not allowed etc.

[Thunderbolt General] chefberardi:
Not sure how thats obvious, on a phone thats not even out. But upon reading this I decided to stop and help you out of that box you are thinking in there, negative Nancy.

Did ya ever think about turning it over while charging and watching? You seriously never had a "kick-lay" on a bike growing up? Who said kickstands always have to stand, man?

Its so sick it might just hold up your phone while laying down! One day, we can all be that lazy and effective. Don't knock it 'till you've tried it. Did you hear about that clown that under estimated the power of physics when playing with a spring? No? That's cause it was super-messy, Google that sh*t.

Please, please for the love of god write a post, and sticky it, about what multitasking and background scheduling is, and why most apps shouldn't be allowed to run in the background. I'm so sick of reading about users complaining about "the lack of multitasking" (Eeeeew! Now I said it, and I feel dirty! :S ) when what they really want is the ability to run annoying programs in the background that will allow them to complain about the poor battery life, how WP7 raped them economically etc etc...because they really don't know what they want.

Please? Pretty please with sugar on top?
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
Most users?!

Most people want the ablility to continue being navigated to their destination while listening to streaming music (not thru Zune as their region does not allow it - like yours) or check their email or even make a phone-call to say they'll be late.

Or perhaps they want an Exchange task manager that will actually remind you of your tasks without having to keep the app open at all times, or maybe they would like their phone to automatically change "profiles" at certain times of the day (ie., very simplified; 8-12 ringer on, 12-13 on silent except certain numbers, 13-18 all on, 18-23 same as lunch, 23-8 all silent apart from alarms).

These are all, relatively common, things you cannot do without real multitasking.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiwas:
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! stop calling that multi-tasking! It's background scheduling!

And, yeah, I see your point, but apps like that should have special authorization to ensure they're not spinning in the background stealing processor cycles, downloading data, draining the battery etc...
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
Well, no. The examples I gave were a mixture of actual multitasking and scheduling. Some could do with a simple "register this event for execution at this time" but others really do need the full app running in the background at "all" times.

I definitely agree though, not every Tom **** and Harry should be allowed to write fully multitasking apps - or rather, they should be allowed to, but their release in the marketplace should be limited to those certified by Microsoft. I.e., what I'm saying is that the OS should have been fully prepared for multitasking from the getgo, with developers having to use technical exceptions during app certification to be published. As is, I very much doubt we'll see multitasking until the first major update which will likely come hand in hand with much higher HW specs to make sure the OS is still silky smooth.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiwas:
Running the app in the background at all times is still background scheduling...Multitasking is, in all fairness, what the OS uses to run threads in the background, but multitasking is fully supported by the OS. It's the lack of subscribing to background scheduling events that's causing "the problems".

At least we agree about letting everybody schedule whatever they feel like is a bad idea, and hopefully, at some point, MS will let developers use "advanced functions" that require "advanced testing" before letting them into marketplace. All the bits and pieces seem to be there, though, as OEMs can make background apps...
[Windows Phone 7 General] orangekid:
WP7 cannot multi-task at all, and attempting to infer that it does with garbage semantics is pretty lame.

How about the mods sticky a thread on users who don't know what they're talking about attempting to force their own lexicon on the rest of us and attempting to appear so intelligent and above us unintelligent sheep.

Thank you for showing us the light....

What some of us actually want out of WP7 is an actual ability to run more than one freaking application at once. Does that spell it out for you?

If I am using a 3rd party podcast app because the zune one sucks, I want to be able to then check my damn email without my podcast cutting out. If I am playing a game and I get a text, I want to be able to respond without having to reload the entire game.

Call this whatever the hell you want to call it, but WP7 cannot do it, Android and iOS can.

Get off your high horse and help development instead of attempting to condescend on the rest of us.
[Windows Phone 7 General] pillsburydoughman:
lol what a stupid post. It's 2011 and we can't have the ability for multiple applications to run at once? what is this world coming to.. and asking for a sticky because you *THINK* multitasking = slow apps? I got news for you, it's a discussion forum, if you don't like it don't read the thread.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiwas:
Oh...want me to tell my programs to stop running more than one thread, then?

And what are you calling "bull**** semantics"?

1. The OS can multitask, and it allows special applications to run in the background (scheduling). Proof: you can listen to music while surfing the web, and accept calls while checking the calendar. Of COURSE it can multitask!

2. Programs can multitask. I can asynchronously call a web service and do stuff while I wait. I can also display a wait animation while processing stuff

So please try to keep your mouth closed when you have no idea what you're talking about.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Besides Microsoft stuff there is absolutely no multitasking. Is that better?
[Windows Phone 7 General] orangekid:
once again you prove that you have no idea what you're talking about. Being able to launch a couple of crappy MS apps and then open IE is not multi-tasking in any practical form. What you reference is about the only time it can background anything.

What if I want to use a non-MS app that does not suck and do anything else? Not going to happen. This is a real issue. I cannot use any other music player or podcast player or music streaming app and open IE or text or email or anything, I cannot text or email while playing a game if I don't want the game to reload.

Claiming that WP7 can multi-task is like saying it has a comparable app store to iOS, it's complete garbage.

lol, beat me to it, and more concise :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiwas:
Yes, it actually IS! Now we don't have all the problems from WM6.5, which is proof that even professional developers have problems setting up their programs correctly.

And still - it's called scheduling.
