I have the current app and it's great. The live tile is awesome and I think it updates in the background which is nice. I didn't like the past layout for Most Read cause I thought you didn't use the space properly but you've fixed that in this release. I look forward to it.

Thanks for the feedback, glad you like the new look should be available in a couple of weeks. Anyone else got any thoughts on the new layout?

Looking good. Have the current version so looking forward to the update. When do you expect to release it?

Just publishing the update now so should pass review and be available in the next couple of days if all goes well.

[THEME] Windows 7 / v1.0 / Cyanogen 4.0.4 [UPDATED 8/29] Six6Sicks

Please delete this thread.

Ok, before I begin.
I know, I know. WINDOWS 7 on Linux!!!! OMG! HOW DARE YOU!!!!
I understand that some of you will think it's so wrong I should be hung for doing this.
BUT.....There are some, like myself, that like Windows, and so this WIP is for them and I.
I have lots to do, but here are just a few screenshots of what's been done so far. If I get some good feedback on this I'll push harder to get this thing loaded.
I have most of the icons changed, market app icons and other apps not pre installed will not be changed. 1 thing is I don't have the I.E. icon cause I hate I.E. so firefox it is!
I am open to any suggestions.
I will try to get this 100% complete asap. (Didn't know it would be this hard lol!)
If you come here just to bash, don't waste your time.

No link yet, Sorry. I will hope to have this weekend. I just wanted to get this out for suggestions/feedback.
Very interesting start. I'm actually looking forward to using this and will mostly use it when I get bored of the hero theme.
looks pretty good, keep up the good work
awesome! i gotta say, the boot screen made me laugh, i'm gonna flash this at work and tell people i have the newest tablet with windows 7.
it's great, although i would have to agree with...

nice job
Nice job man.. i would give a try as soon u have it ready.
Keep it up man.
Awesome man, love it, can't wait ...
Few suggestions:
* WiFi symbol like the wireless connectivity icon on 7 (Not sure how best to demonstrate the bars of signal though, maybe the waves that come out of it?)
* Similarly, 3g/EDGE have the picture of two computers with the globe, lighting each one up for send/receive
* Muted and battery icons
Only suggestions, re-reading those, most would be a pain to implement I'm sure .
Love the dialer too
I like to look of this...
+1!
totally funny and cool!!
Please release ASAP xD
Hoping to have this available for release on Sunday night.
You know a Windows 7 theme was actually released WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY back ago when I first figured out how to make themes? The guy that made it was called Dave the Illest...You should check it out and consider porting it...

PLEASE Can You make some version without "Windows-like" Start panel? Just only transparent original image? I liko your theme, but "Start" panel is not my "cup of tea"

FAKE FINGER PRINT - lock screen

Excellent app. It works like a lockscreen and it fakes your finger print, but did not found any to windows mobile. Only founded to symbian.
I challenge you all great devs to work on something like this, but even better, adding it a clock, date, missed calls and messages. It would be great
take a look at the app for symbian here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyXyt-Ui5AM
well challenging doesnot looks good
atleast show some respect and request
i hope many people here would like to make such application
ok sorry, i am a noob on these things. I request all great devs, i beg them, and if i could at the moment i would donate of course.. for an app like this.
thank you all, you make my mobile devices not just phones!
looks like your thread needs a bump
even i too need such app
Sounds like a great (and possibly easy -no idea about developing-) idea!
yeah not that much pain but i dont know why people are not working on it
+1 for me looks funny
I thought I might as well as post this here now...
I am working on making this Fake FingerPrint Scanner Lock-screen.
I really have very little left to do...
-Vibrate (tougher)
-UI for configuring (easy)
-Topbar stuffs like Signal and Battery (A side-project I have been doing that is almost done)
-Some text on screen...
Besides that, if anyone wants to beta-test what I got...PM me....its First Come, First Serve, not too many will get the beta.

Waiting for this one
this is a super cute app
To all watching this thread in hopes of a release...here is an update:
I have made some progress on this project. Visually it is close to done (just need to add a few components), functionally, I just have to add in a feature here and there and the ability to customize it...and there should be an initial release!
Hang tight...shouldn't be more than a week-ish (schedule permitting)...

I hate hate hate making promises, BUT ... I have (gone against my greater morals) and settled with a decent solution to some of the problems i have been experiencing with this program...due to this (which puts me ahead quite a few days), I will be giving my beta testers the program to test a bit for a day or two, get some reports, fix some bugs, and WITH LUCK and good scheduling, there MAY be a release this coming Sunday!!!
Don't hold me to this though, I am just speculating, and I am really eager to release this
that is actually pretty sweet, hope it gets ported to htc devices

I am on the verge of being ready to release a public beta. I am currently working on implementing a GUI for CONFIGURING the lock-screen, so it can be customizable. After that is finished, and I address any bugs brought up to me by my beta testers, i will release. I hope this can occur soon!

Root Call Blocker testers needed

Hello everyone! Im the dev of Root Call Blocker, an app that acts as a call and sms firewall.
I would be grateful if someone tested the app for any issues!
You can find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051274
Please let me know if you have any issues with voicemail or google voice - people on the market just never report issues correctly!
Hi,
I just started using the app today, didn't have the time to test it yet.
can you please explain the reject methods? basically I don't want anyone calling me to get the filling I hung up - the hang up should be immediate.
I'll update later on my impression of the app, for now I can say I loved that it has so many options for defining block policies and defining white / black lists. most apps I've seen don't come with all those options.
I already tested that app last week. I didn't like it, that's all.
Regards.

You don't like the App?
Yeah man, that's exactly the kind of review, the developer was looking for!

Yes, we certainly live amongst constant absurdity.
Outstanding issues have been fixed. Please update to 1.5.5 and let me know if your issues are solved. Its important we get some feedback guys!
For me everything is working perfectly. No issues to report for about a month now!
We have just made lots of additions, Update please if you havent already please!
Any issues with 1.6.2?
Working great here, thanks for this most awesome app!
We have a sale on - its only 1.98!

I said what I thought. It's been long since I last used it, seeing there is an upgrade, will test it again tomorrow and post back.
Last time, as far as I could remember there was no difference between this app and the in built Samsung Call Blocker other than the name of this app
Regards.
Would paying the 1.98 make it upgrade to Project Omega automatically later? and What exactly is Omega??
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Why would you assume that? The people that need to know what Omega is already do.
Anyway - there have been a lot of upgrades, and this app has always been the best call blocker on android - built in or not!
I think i know about OMEGA - theres been plenty of talk over at 4pda

No issues here - thanks for this best call blocker!

[Q] Weather Bug Notifcations

I just installed Weather Bug Elite and I notcied that the notifications it brings up are different from all the other notifications in ICS. Does anyone else get this or know how to change it?

Yeah, good luck getting them to update it. For a relatively expensive app I'm disappointed that the UI is still based on 2009...
Very poor development and updates, give them 1 star on the market I say!

Seriously... I am a back end/mid tier developer and I write better UIs that those guys... That is scary
Well that sucks. Hopefully with ICS out they'll decide to do a little updating.

[REQ] Carbon for Android Alpha apk

I've seen a lot of people using the alpha at the moment on twitter. I have looked around but can not see where they are getting it from.
Anyone found the apk? I know the beta should be in play store when ready itching to try.
It'd be great to try it!

It's a private release, you had to get on the release list to get it.

I know. I Do follow dot1ne. However it must be leaked somewhere. Seen a follower who is a huge apple fan but used Android for a week or two, who has gone from a week of plume to using carbon since yesterday. Which makes me think someone has leaked the apk from dot1ne's original group. 2 other users I know who were on his release list (old webOS users) wont pass on [which I understand]
I wish try it too. We are waiting for so long and we have no information about it.

Been info via twitter and g+ Page for carbon. It's in an alpha release now and should be on play store for beta (soon)
Ah c'mon guys, not like this. We're still in alpha stage working hard to get it out as soon as we can, but leaks? c'mon... this sort of stuff is going to get us real demotivated as this is our first Android app and we love Android.
Once we're ready we'll have a beta out for public use and hit Google Play before you know it. We're getting there. I'd appreciate it if requests for leaks stopped. It ain't gonna' be good for anyone and plus our alpha testing list are all awesome and trustworthy that won't leak any APK.
Cheers, until an update that is coming real soon.

If it's a private alpha please respect their wishes and wait until it's ready to be made public. Any leaks would be considered warez and are not to be discussed here.
