Cingular 8525 3D Effects 'rom'

I have the 8525 and would love to have the best rom ever especially while this new iphone is coming out. Is there a rom out there that has the best 3D effects for the phone or is someone working on a rom like that. because if we can get are 8525 to have the 3D effects I think that there won't be any phone that can touch ares. the iphone and the new touch phone, that's the only thing '3D effect' they have on us... please let's make everyone know why we are sticking with are 8525's. Thank You!

What the heck please obey forum rules and use the SEARCH FUNCTION

searching forums
I've installed so many ROMS, searched the forums. I know what he means. We've all see the youtube demo of the flashy screen changes. I think I have the perfect rom then its not. Reinstalling new roms and restoring the 50+ apps sucks every time. Yeah, I have SPB backup, but it's worthless on apps with new registry settings.
I've been using modded roms way back on many phones for SEVERAL years. The Iphone will be the best / current phone out. Can't wait till we crack into it. (I know everyone is excited about this.)
I personally use my PDA/phone for business and need everthing to work, and keep on working.
Currently 8525.
I still am craving a true VGA phone with a 850 GSM. The QVGA seems stuck as the main choice.

umm... speak for yourself BigBad... I'm not excited about the iphone at all.. My 8525 does everything it does pluse more. Videos and music? yah we can do that... oh missing the 8gig or whatever? so what, i use orb and have access to my network hard drive in my house which lets me view/listen to 120 gigs of videos/music
The iphone i see it is for consumer whores... Did u see the demo on installed apps through safari? they skip!
i think its a worthless device put together by a briliant team that knows how to suck every penny out of mr. and mrs. average joe!
And NO i am not one of those apple hating windows hard core freaks. I'm currently writing this on my macbook with my hermes connected to windows xp which is running on my macbook through parallels.... i have the best of both worlds and don't see an iphone entering mine anytime soon!

The Iphone
you guys forgot to mention its only 2g!! Only wifi i-net connect, nuff said!!!!!

i'm so sorry being a noob, but honestly i searched and searched every where but i can not find a rom with 3D effects. Maybe you guys are miss understanding me on this...i know they have the rom that has the touch rom and iphone rom 'look a like' but it does not do what the touch htc and iphone does like when the screen turns around and things like that. the only reason i wrote this post was maybe someone can at lease point me in the right place...i currently have black 3.0 and love it.... again i search every where everyday and that's why decided to do this post. don't get me wrong i love everybody's hard work on the roms they do that is amazing, so i'm not dissing anyone...i just wanted the 8525 to be the best that it can be and hopefully have a lot of 3D effects.....SORRY

Because , thers is no ROM for our devices that has 3D effects which you probably saw on youtube .
What you saw is a new device from HTC with new screen

TouchFlo on Hermes

I Phone not up to Par
The i-phone device thing is inferior in many ways. The only thing it has on the Hermes is that it looks really cute and colorful. The processor on it is only 300 mhz, why go backwards, only 2g. Connectivity-wise not even, please. But again it is cute looking.

My theory...
You know, what if posts like this current thread
as well as posts like this:

and this:

are actually people working for MS trying to piss off the chefs enough so that they will stop sharing their ROMs? Just a thought.

Hate to bring life to a dead thread...but will the hermes ever support touchflo? Is it a hardware limitation?

In the Wizard forum we have gotten a hold of a working wizard rom with touch flo working in it. Ie the cube application with touch spinning it along with the scrolling feature. So I would assume it won't be long before this is ported to the hermes and many other devices...

well if it has already been tested on the hermes where can we download it?

Custel . . . RELEASE IT!! Please i beg of you. I don't even care if its a choppy version. I just want to messa round with it for a while. I love upgrading my OS andRadio, ETC . . but I would like a new style of navigation. Wisbar leaks memory way to fast, and the Iphone themes just well . . . suck! Please, throw up a cab for us to try out!

what is 5point multitouch good for?

What's the point in 5point? Dotty is the only app I can think of that has anything to do with it. I'm not saying there isn't a reason, I just can't think of any reason other than just to say you have it.

Useless???
Maybe someone will develop an app that uses multi-touch gestures... I suppose that could be handy for some security app or something... I have wondered the same thing and I don't think there will ever be much need for it... At this point, it's just for bragging rights

Ohh...... now it's my turn. This is a question and should be in the qa forum.

excellent value add!! let the mod's be mods. Not sure as i can pinch to zoom and all my games play haha

You can play a five note chord with piano/keyboard app!

I have no clue either, but I thought I've seen around these forums that some games do multiple touches? Maybe not, thought I've seen it here...

"Please show us on the dummy phone the 5 places that the bad man touched you."
Couldn't help myself. Seriously though, 5-point is more a gimic at this point, but somewhere down the road it could be useful.

Snesoid sports it which can get you out of a bind.

I give my EVO a five finger massage.
It could be used for a cool Android version of Rock Band or Guitar Hero.

isnt that the trick that the Black mamba used to kill bill?

Emulators.
Rockband/Guitar Hero-like games.
Five-man air hockey.
Bragging rights.

Great for games on any emulator with a d-pad, with more than 2 multitouch points you can walk diagonally and fire at the same time.

honestly,i always get irritated when something is posted in the wrong forum... but its not due to the recent hype here @xda...
anyways, i dont know why but this did not bother me one bit.
Anyways2.0 @ OP. There's a game called NOVA {Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance}. Really similar to Halo... I like it. Well, before I could not be moving around + firing (2 fingers so far) + throw a hand grenade(or jump). Meaning I could only do two of those at the same time.
However, after flashing custom kernels (EPSON 003 no tints), Dotty showed me my device can take all 5 at once [insert sex joke o.0].
Here's the good stuff. Though I can't do all of those things at once... I can do 3 at one time. While running, I can continue to do so, shoot an enemy in the faceheadlolomgwtfs, and clip a 'nade out. So, yea : ) . As far I know, this is undocumented by Gameloft© (not that I checked).
By the way, it is not available in the Android App Market. Find it @ www.gameloft.com [on your device!].

So you really get 5 multi touch pts? The most I ever get is 3.

yes some Evos can and come cant...

And the problem is that most (99%) of the apps in the app store only supports 2/3 point touch max since most android hardware can only support that much.

alright. Thanks for the replies. I was just curious about it. And sorry about the wrong forum, I thought about putting it in q&a, but I figured it had to do with evo development so I put it here. But I apologize.
Seems that, as big as the screen is, 5 fingers wouldnt fit right. But for video games I suppose so. Maybe someone will invent a 5 finger tapping app that gives you a score based on accuracy and speed lol.
Thanks again.

Is there a download to enable multitouch? I am running Baked Snack 1.6, but I only get two points on multitouch test.

certain kernels unlock it, like kingklick's kernel. Only certain phones can have 5 point multi-touch, other phones can only get 3 point.

Blackberry 6 style ROM possible?

As the title states, is there a possible way of porting over a similiar Blackberry 6 styled ROM over? Although I am not a fan, the MIUI ROM is extremely popular and has an i*honeish feel to it and in some instances, can even be made to look like one.
I know there are theme's (not very good one's in my opinion) available on the Market, but i'm talking about having a similiar interface as that as what you would see on the new Torch, not just icons.
I'm currently running Myn's warm two point two Z beta and love this site as well as my DINC for it's awesomeness, but being an ex BBerry user, I think this would seriously present a challenge for some DEV out there looking for one and would be greatly appreciated by many on this site being that many have made the jump over the Android from BBerry.
Maybe i'm crazy and maybe this thread gets deleted, but there would certainly be nothing like this if created. Just a thought!

I think that this could certainly attract new users to rooting and ROM flashing, but as a recovering BB addict, I might have taken a lot longer to find all the other great ROM's which leverage all that Android can be...

I'd have to agree. My take on it is that if you really, really want the crackberry interface, then you should own a crackberry. Our Dinc's aren't iPhones, and they're not BB's. Trying not to be sounding rude, but maybe you bought the wrong phone?
I came to Android from BB, and have had them for years. At some point you just have to move on. Kicking and screaming maybe

I have MIUI because I for the longest time wanted an iPhone (getting one in Feb.), but theres nothing wrong with wanting. There isn't a phone on VZW running bb 6 currently, and simply wanting a phone that appears to look like bb 6 is what he wants. There isn't a WP7 on VZW and yet people make those themes and you all aren't *****ing at them.
Sorry man, there isn't one right now, but if you found enough theming elements you could probably make a close copy. Good luck.

Sidekick, thanks for backing me up. But in reality fellas I was simply posting the thread to see if there was any interest in pursuing development for such a ROM.
Even though I came from BBerry I dont actually want my awesome DInc to perform or be one for that matter, but you can't deny this wouldnt be a challenge to anyone wanting a change in developing ROM's.
This site is awesome and so is the work our Dev's do day in day out. Having said that, I dont want an iphone nor bberry, just simply presenting a challenge to my fellow colleagues

I don't know why you would want to disgrace your phone with a Blackberry rom. Blackberry OS is horrible. Only good thing I could see is it would actualy be on good hardware for once...

MIUI is soo popular considering it is an iPhone copy. I don't see why a proper WP7 or BBerry 6 ROM wouldn't be a hit. It's all about trying out new things and what not. Best of all, this would seriously represent such a challenge to any Dev out there and that is the reason we all love XDA right, because they do crazy things possible. I simply was throwing the idea out there to hear people's feedback on it. I love my DInc and wouldn't trade it for anything else, maybe except for the new Thunderbolt!

[Q] HTC EVO (design) any support for this phone

I was thinking of opening up another line for my wife, I don't care for the 3d or paying 200+ for a new phone.
I wanted to see if anyone here would know if there is any kind of support like root or ROM development on this phone. I don't hear much or any buzz. (once you root, it's the way to go) Can't just have a plain old stock phone..lol!

oooh, my bad then.

Yea, seeing as my wife and myself have the evo design, and its not a bad phone.. it needs some love, and customization options.
Lets get a forum going for it, and get it some ice cream sandwich ! lol

I also was looking for some support for this phone as I am thinking about getting this on another line. Like most people here I don't like to keep anything stock for to long after I get it home. Well I will just wait and see what happens here.

Whats the facepalm for????
I seriously would like to have this game on my android phone (Epic touch ).
I know the game is for iOS .
I know i should try contacting the developer (which im trying to find out how is the best method right now)
I know its not easy to have a game ported, as it is themes, and roms are hard but the developers on here do a crazy job and have alot of knowledge and this could be something they might want to do.
I dont use any iOS device but my nephew was playing it on christmas and i liked the game.
If the developer of the game would to ported to Android and put on the play store i would purchase it .
again im trying to find the contact info for this developer..

radiant defense is sooo much better and its in hd and on android

you know all of this, yet you still ask for it to be ported. no one but the developer will port it because its illegal (im pretty sure) to do, especially if its a paid app.
and if its an old game, then chances are the developer will never port it because if he had any plans to, it would of been done already.
so in conclusion
facepalm
